Who sells here

The roster fills in as vendors claim their spot.

The market does not publish a vendor list, so this one is built from the vendors themselves. If you sell at Kenyon, add yourself below and your name, what you bring and which Thursdays you're there will appear here.

Sell at the market

Free space. First come. Bring a tent.

The market takes homegrown, homemade and handcrafted vendors at no charge. Spaces are filled in the order applications arrive. You bring your own table, chairs and tent; there is no power. Set-up starts at 2:30, ready by 4, and you clean your own space after.

Vendors carry their own liability insurance and sign the market's liability release. A donation to the Depot Park fund is welcome and not required. On Fall Fest day, October 10, the whole market moves to Main Street by the bank.
