The Artisan Market at Roots, Rants & Roars is curated to reflect the spirit of the festival — local, thoughtful, handmade, and deeply connected to place.

Held at the entrance of the Municipal Park grounds in Elliston, the market takes place throughout the festival weekend during Cod Wars, The Hike, and The Feast.

We welcome applications from artists, makers, craftspeople, food growers, and producers whose work is created locally and reflects the creativity and culture of Newfoundland & Labrador. This includes handmade goods, original artwork, locally grown or produced food items, and small-batch products such as honey, preserves, and similar offerings.

To help maintain the integrity and atmosphere of the market, we do not accept mass-produced items or products that are not made directly by the artisan or producer applying.

Our goal is to create a market experience that feels authentic, personal, and rooted in the same values that shape the festival itself.
