Set up a table display with your goods and mark your price. Negotiate, barter, make deals, but above all, have fun, and don't get discouraged if nothing happens immediately. Greet everyone who comes by. Have and give out simple business cards. Talk to musicians, suggest for them to play one on stage, if you aren't confident enough to do it yourself. If you're asked to go on stage to describe what you do/build, get up & do it. 

Oh, right...have fun.

Good luck
