The Boardman River Summer Art & Craft Show is a boutique, juried event held on July 18‑19, 2026 at Medalie Park in Traverse City, Michigan. The show welcomes both artists and non‑artist vendors, with a particular emphasis on handmade and artist‑designed items. Applicants may submit in up to two categories and are eligible if they are emerging artists or established makers. The application process is managed through ZAPP, with a jury fee of $25 (early‑bird $15 until February 1). Accepted artists receive a booth space (10 × 10 ft or larger) and access to the event’s marketing and on‑site support. The event runs Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with setup from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Booths are limited to 80 spaces, and the show emphasizes quality over quantity, offering a curated experience for both artists and visitors. The show is free to attend, but exhibitors must pay the jury and booth fees. The event is organized by Blue Ribbon Events, LLC, a company that hosts multiple craft and art shows across Michigan and Florida.
