If you are interested in applying to participate in any of the above events "google" the name of the event and visit their web sites where you will find all the answers you need to becoming a participant. Be aware though, most of these events are juried and require your applying up to six months before the event takes place. So, don't hesitate, contact them before it is too late.
Best of luck in joining the community of art fair artists.
