Get ready to hear all about this year's Lowell Folk Festival! Below will contain tons of details and links for the event, but the short version is that we want to sell your pottery for you at the Experience Lowell Marketplace at the Folk Festival.
Dates and Times for our booth at Experience Lowell:
Saturday July 29th, 12pm – 6pm
Sunday July 30th, 12pm – 6pm
A bit about the event:
Celebrating the largest free Folk Festival in the country, this is the first year that Art in the Courtyard and Destination Lowell will combine and expand to a new location under the name Experience Lowell. Located in the Enterprise Bank parking lot at 222 Merrimack Street, this event will feature Lowell artists, makers, and organizations so that festival attendees and Lowell residents can experience everything that Lowell’s arts and culture community has to offer.
The Lowell Folk Festival welcomes over 100,000 visitors during the weekend and is the longest-running, and second-largest, free folk festival in the United States. It is made up of three days of traditional music, dance, craft demonstrations, street parades, dance parties, and ethnic foods. All of this is presented on six outdoor stages throughout the city.
For the sake of transparency, Pottery Mill is spending $810 for fees, staffing, and furnishings for this event, and we want to break even. As such, we are asking that each member pay a registration fee of $35 per shelf spot (only $17.50 a day!!). All other fees will include:
MA Sales Tax - 6.25%
Stripe % - 2.90%
Stripe $ - $0.30
Pottery Mill % - 20.00%
The studio will only take 20% off of your sales for packaging and staffing. All of our planning and packaging information can be found on the waiver below.
PLEASE FOLLOW OUR REGISTRATION STEPS IN ORDER WITH THE LINKS BELOW:

This is a great chance to sell your pieces to a large audience (again, 100,000 visitors expected that weekend!) without you even being there! Let me know if you have any questions.
