Alton Farmers' & Artisans' Market - 2021 Registration Form
Dear Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market Vendors ~

We hope that you’re as excited about the 2021 season as we are! Our Market will be held in the parking lot at the corner of Landmarks Blvd. & Henry St. every Saturday morning (8am to Noon) from May 8th - Oct 16th.

SATURDAY registration fee is $12 for a single week, or
If you’d like to commit to a whole season, the discounted price is $150 for all 24 weeks (save $138)
If you’d like to commit to a half season, the price is $80 for any 12 consecutive weeks (save $64)

Please note that as of the 2020 season we no longer operate on WEDNESDAYS.

WEEKLY VENDORS: please pay your fee on-site each week with cash or check. Please do not mail or send fees via Paypal for a single market.  

RETURNING SEASONAL VENDORS: please send your fee by April 30th to ensure your same space.

SET-UP TIME is 1-hour prior to start time for weekly vendors, and seasonal vendors can arrive as early as they like.

Added benefits of signing up for a full or half season are that you are entitled to a permanent spot at the market (assigned by seniority, then on a first-paid/first-placed basis), and you will receive a vote on major ballot decisions regarding the market. A limited number of double-spaces will be available for food producers; if you are interested in a 2nd booth please call our Head Farmer Bob Sancamper at 372-3018.

Alton Main Street provides staff, city permit, liability insurance, signage, advertising, and on-site amenities & activities. Each vendor is allowed an 11x11 booth space as well as an adjacent parking stall. Vendors are responsible for bringing any of the following items (if desired): tables, chairs, E-Z Up tent or umbrella, product signage, bags or other suitable packaging, scales, and displays. Please take care to leave your area free of litter or any debris from your product.
