What is the purpose of using Timed Entry?

To ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all, timed entry slots will be implemented to efficiently manage lines entering the Marketplace. Please arrive no earlier than 30 minutes before your assigned time. For instance, if your slot is at 11 a.m., you can start lining up at 10:30 a.m. This helps those with earlier times enter smoothly before the next group. Once checked in, ticket holders can stay until the Marketplace closes each day, reenter, and come and go as they please.

Please be sure to include your email address in order to receive your E-Ticket. After placing your order, you will receive an email containing a link to download your ticket in PDF format and instructions to add your mobile tickets to Apple Wallet for iPhone or Google Wallet for Android. On the day of the event, just open your digital wallet app to display the ticket's QR code for a seamless check-in experience.

1. Children aged 8 and under can enter the marketplace free of charge.
2. Workshops are not included in the daily pass or 3-day pass. You don’t need an admission ticket to attend the workshops, since the classrooms are separate from the Marketplace. Just head straight to the classroom, where you’ll be checked in separately.
3. You can purchase tickets for your family and friends. For the Single Day Pass, the maximum number of tickets is capped at 10, and for the 3-Day Pass, the limit is 5. The system will ask for a name and email for each individual ticket, ensuring the QR codes are sent to the corresponding email addresses provided.
4. Door tickets might be available after 12pm, but they’re not guaranteed and will depend on the venue’s capacity.

What is Stamp Rally?

This year’s Stamp Rally is getting a fun refresh! To give everyone plenty of time to enjoy the experience and explore products from our participating brands, we’re making sure there are enough prizes for every participant. When you check in, you’ll receive a wristband that can be exchanged for a prize once you complete the Stamp Rally.

Each day will feature a new rotation of participating vendors, each offering unique prizes that change daily. These include exclusive, limited‑edition merchandise created by collaborating artists just for @littlecraftfest, along with generous donations from our favorite brands.

✨ How It Works ✨

✏️Event Program & Stamp Sheet

Attendees will receive the event program at check‑in, which includes the Stamp Rally sheet.

✏️Visit Vendors, Gather Stamps & Make at Least 8 Purchases

We’ll highlight 20 different vendors each day. Stop by their booths to collect stamps and complete your sheet by making at least 8 purchases - any amount counts, to support the makers and shops you love.

✏️Claim Your Prize

Once your Stamp Rally sheet is complete, bring it to the Lone Star Ballroom to redeem your reward. Don’t forget to wear your wristband when you check in.
