We invite you to be one of our Craft Walk hosts! This annual three-day event always begins one week after Thanksgiving, and features handcrafted and homemade items. Shoppers are invited to visit homes, churches, businesses, and other organizations in Genoa and Kingston. Hundreds of shoppers attend this event each day!
The cost to host an open house on the Christmas Craft Walk is $65. This fee provides:
- your listing on our map, including a description of your crafts
- a numbered sign to display in front of your location
- copies of the map to hand out before and during the Craft Walk
- advertising the event locally with banners and flyers and digital advertising
- features of your crafts and location on our Facebook page and website
All locations on the Craft Walk should:
- Be a home, church, business or other physical location with an address in Genoa or Kingston townships.
- Have handcrafted and/or homemade items. Shoppers are typically looking for high quality crafts, art, and food items that they can enjoy in their own homes or give as gifts. A variety of handmade items is encouraged.
- For the comfort of shoppers, be located in some kind of easily accessible indoor space, such as the main floor of a home or business, heated garage, enclosed porch, or other enclosed space.
- Be open during all three days of the Craft Walk if possible; recommended opening hours are Thursday 9-5, Friday 9-5, and Saturday 9-3. You may adjust your opening hours if needed. If you wish, you may also choose to be open on Sunday.
- Encourage shoppers to visit all locations, and stamp their maps if they’d like to be entered into our drawing.
- Provide an item of $10 value or more to our giveaway basket. (Optional)
- Reach out to the Craft Walk committee if you have space to welcome more crafters at your location; we can get you in contact with interested crafters and vendors.
Deadline to apply is September 5, 2025.
