Participate in the Market
We love our market community and are so happy you want to be a part of it. There are lots of ways to get involved, and we’re always open to hearing new ideas. Read on for information about vending, tabling, volunteering, or playing music at the market.
Summer 2027 Applications Opening in January
Due to limited space and high interest from current market vendors, we were unable to open applications for the winter 2026 season. Applications will open for the summer 2027 season in January. Applications for our monthly themed special event days will open in the spring.
Visit the Application page for more details and to sign up for our vendor notification list.
Canvassing Policy
Candidates and/or advocates are welcome to canvass on foot at the market site, as long as they do so outside of market bounds. They are welcome to be stationed outside of the market entrances/exits. While market size may vary, this generally refers to the area near the crosswalk through the southeastern corner of the Rotary, and the area near the crosswalk in front of the Champlain Mill steps.
We are not able to host candidates within the market, and they should not enter the market to approach customers or vendors inside for the purpose of canvassing. Canvassers may not set up tables or displays, but be present on foot only.
Vend
We welcome new vendor applications during designated periods before each market season. We may also put out calls for special event vendors at other times.
Table
Community groups are welcome to sign up to table at the market as long as there is availability. Eligible groups receive one free tabling date per season.
Volunteer
Volunteers make our market happen — and become our dear friends! Volunteer time at the market is City Market member worker hour eligible.
Music
