Annual Fall festivals and holiday bazaars are a tradition in many communities , and the success of such events has led many towns to schedule similar events throughout the year .
Community festivals and weekend marketplaces are enjoyable occasions for shoppers to connect with small businesses . Such events can be great opportunities to discover many local merchants and service providers in one convenient venue .
Shoppers can find a number of festival or marketplace opportunities in or around their communities each month . Some of these festivals may be large scale events like annual Christmas bazaars , while others smaller affairs that occur each week .
Business owners can research local festivals , paying particular attention to how communities market the events and which businesses attend them . Community turnout is another significant factor to consider . Such research can help business owners determine which festivals best suit their products / services .
Cash was once king at community festivals and marketplaces , but the convenience of plastic and even touchless payments has long since replaced hard currency as consumers ' preferred method of payment . Card readers are inexpensive and easy to use , so accepting cash and card increases the convenience to both the customer and business in a festival setting . Vendor booths are a great place for customers to browse the goods and services of local businesses , while getting to know the owners in a more social setting . In
