I'm assuming that you are American or English speaking living in Germany... I lived in Europe as a teenager and I know the American community where we lived was pretty tight-knit--the churches and international schools often held bazaars (though I'm thinking closer to the holidays). You might check out those resources, or if you have an American Women's group or something like that, see if they do a festival or if they have leads for you.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand your desire to do a fair in Germany. I have not personally done a fair in Germany, but I do know that there are several international fairs and markets that take place throughout the year. It may be worth reaching out to local event planners or community organizations to inquire about potential opportunities. You could also try networking with other consultants in Germany to see if they have any leads or recommendations. Best of luck in finding a fair to participate in!
