Showing off your talent while being able to earn a little extra income is a good aspiration for a lot of people. Friends and family will support and be appreciative of your art, but the sense of satisfaction gained from other people enjoying your work is truly an enjoyable experience. As such, many get a spot or booth at festivals to showcase their wares.
It's not a good idea to just up and go to a festival, rent a booth and put up a stall with all your wares. It's not as simple as that. A bit of research won't hurt and will probably help a lot in the long run. Consider a few things and you won't end up with negative returns afterwards.
First, what is the event about? Talking to the organizers is always advised and it's a good idea to ask questions. Is it annual? How many people do they expect to turn out? Is this the first time, and if so, how are they promoting the event? You want to set up a booth somewhere with a decent turnout of people, and failing to do so will be a bad turn for your expected extra income.
Next, you have to figure out the specifics of the stall itself. Would you be making shakes, for example? If so, then you may need an outlet for your blender, and thus you'd have to ask if the organizer would provide access to electricity during an event. Ask for the availability of tables and chairs as well. Many events would provide these things, but some won't.
It's a very rewarding experience to share something you enjoy with other people. However, as anyone with a bit of common sense, it wouldn't hurt to earn a little extra something with it. So go on and see what festivals are scheduled in the future and good luck!
