WWW Craft Fair Weather Policy
As stated in the WWW Crafts policies: it could be a warm day; be sure to bring water or other hydrating fluids, sunscreen, and protective eye wear for everyone in your unit. Western Welcome Week has specific dates for events which are not canceled due to inclement weather, and no refunds are made because of weather. However, if weather creates a safety issue, Western Welcome Week reserves the right to terminate or postpone the event.
Media Coverage
Local and daily newspapers, local news, radio stations, social media, and the internet help get the word out about the Craft Fair and other Western Welcome Week festivities.
A Perfect Setting
The ambiance in historic downtown Littleton is perfect for artisans to proudly display and sell their handcrafted goods.
Booth Space Assignment
Limited space dictates that Western Welcome Week assigns booth spaces, taking into consideration the types of craft(s) sold, the number of years a crafter has participated, and location of “like” vendors and downtown merchants. We suggest that you not wait too long to apply. The deadline is July 15th each year, or until full. After that, a waiting list is established.. Also, we ask that artisans with only handcrafted items apply. Commercial spaces are provided for historic downtown Littleton merchants, and sponsors of Western Welcome Week. Please read the Arts & Crafts Fair Policies for details about requirements.
