IFAM is an incredible organization, and supports artisans from around the world through mentorship, education, and sales opportunities. Their year-round events present us with the opportunity to buy unique handmade products from world class artisans, while learning about their incredibly diverse cultures.

Well thought out program to share riches from around the world while showcasing artisans fine crafts. Ive been multiple times and have enjoyed the experience and have many great pieces at home that tell a story. It is more than a market, it is a great bonding of community!

Wonderful market filled with handmade crafts from all over the world!

It is colorful and houses folk art from around the world. Spacious and well planned. Programs for the community contribute to the graciousness of this Museum.

World famous... a most amazing Market popular with locals and out-of-staters alike.

The bus system was excellent. Not too long a wait to get on.The payment lines were horrible! I got in the cash line with about four people in front of me and I still had to wait 25 minutes to pay. If it is cash or check what could possibly take so long. I watched a man in front of me wait at the table for 15 minutes just to get checked out.That is not even mentioning the lines to pay with a credit card, which looked about an hour long. That is an hour that could have been spent shopping and hurts the artists.The offer of express pay was not stated clearly when you buy tickets. I and others around me thought it was about a fast way to buy tickets.The market was just beautiful and fun as usual. I hope the payment problems can be improved in the future.Lucie and Will Brennan

Sn exciting market held in July annually. Artists from 50 to 60 countries..over 125 artists.

IFAM truly offers an incredible and large selection of folk arts from around the globe. There are no bargains for trinkets here -- these are the finest craftspeople in their fields who travel from far and wide to come to IFAM to showcase their art.But from an attendees perspective, it was rather unpleasant. It was extremely crowded (like shuffling in tiny footsteps to get thru the vendor areas). There were not enough bathrooms. And not only were there long lines for all of the food booths, but there was a serious lack of places to sit and eat, even chairs or benches. We ended up sitting on a driveway curb.The worst part of the day was checking out to pay for our item. Rather than paying the vendor directly, they have you take a price ticket to an invoice table, then take your invoice to one of 3 cashier areas in the whole market, then go back to the invoice table to retrieve your item. The whole process took us over 1.5 hours to check out. We thought about leaving our item behind numerous times but we waited because I really liked my 1 item. After that, I did not want to buy anything else.If going to the market, be prepared for tremendous crowds and all of the hassles that come with that.

Amazing event, friendly environment, lovely artist & works!

Super. But dont register for express pay. A joke. You still stand in line forever.

Love it

Fair is on july 10
