3rd Annual Crankie Fest Open Crank

We cordially invite you to join us for Baltimore Crankie Festival Open Crank! Perform with your peers, or sit back and take in the beautiful artistry of crankies made by both established and up-and-coming crankie makers!

Interested in performing?

Sign-ups to perform are first come first serve. We will accept the first 10 performers to sign up. The following 5 performers to sign up will be on the “waitlist” or “standby” and will also be expected to bring their crankies the day of the event. Should any of the first 10 performers not show, drop out, or if there is extra time the “standby” performers will be called upon in order of sign-up.
