special features

  • This Faire has strong support from the community. Our regular patrons love to buy at this show! We have many regular shoppers from the affluent communities of Saratoga, Cupertino, and West San Jose.
  • Vendors love our fabulous, friendly students helping vendors with setup, tear down, and free services throughout the Faire. That’s one reason why 75% of our vendors come back to sell at our Faire again.
  • This year we are only accepting vendors selling hand made items. Hand Made means that significant value is added by the craftsperson. For example, silk flower arrangements or hand embroidered clothing are both allowed. Please do not offer any items for sale that don’t follow these guidelines!
  • Raffle: During the first hour of the Faire, students will be asking vendors to donate itmes for our raffle. Participation is voluntary but your donations are tax-deductible (ask the student for a receipt) and the money from raffle tickets will support our music program. Make sure that your name and booth number is attached to your donation so we can give you proper credit when it is raffled.
  • Vendor fees benefit the band and orchestra programs at Lynbrook High School.
