Alton Farmers' & Artisans' Market - 2024 Registration Form
Dear Alton Farmers’ & Artisans’ Market Vendors ~

We hope that you’re as excited about the 2024 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 11th - Oct 19th, with the exception of June 22nd when our event is being displaced to accommodate the Powerboat Championship Race on the Mississippi. 

On 6/22 the Market will be relocated to the parking lot at the corner of Broadway & Ridge Street, and since space will be limited seasonal farmers followed by seasonal artists will have first right of refusal to the 40 spaces that are available. We will contact seasonal vendors directly in order of seniority to confirm their attendance that day.  

The registration fee is $12 for a single week. WEEKLY VENDORS, please do not mail or send fees via Paypal for a single market.  Instead, please pay your fee on-site each week with cash or check made out to Alton Main Street.

If you’d like to commit to a whole season, the discounted price is $150 for all 24 weeks (save $138), or if you’d like to commit to a half season, the price is $80 for 12 weeks (save $64)

*NEW THIS YEAR, regarding half-season vendors - we have changed this option to allow people to sign up for either the first half of the season (May 11-July  27) or the second half of the season (August 3 - October 19), instead of any 12 consecutive Saturdays. 

Link to pay SEASONAL FEES ONLY: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/AltonMainStreet
Or by check/money order made out to "Alton Main Street" and mailed to: Alton Main Street Attn: Farmers' & Artisans' Market - 111 E. 4th St. Suite 315 Alton, IL 62002
*RETURNING SEASONAL VENDORS please note the deadline of Fri, April 26th - payment will need to be received by that date in order to ensure your same space.

SET-UP begins at 7:00am for weekly vendors, and seasonal vendors can arrive as early as they like. We do not need to know in advance when weekly vendors will be attending; simply pull into the parking lot anytime after 7:00am and ask for Farmer Bob and he will show you to your spot.

Added benefits of signing up for a full or half season are that you will have 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 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.

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.

A description of items permitted to be sold at the Market and other regulations can be found in our bylaws.

FOOD VENDORS: If you will be selling any food other than uncut fruits and vegetables which is made in your home kitchen, in a commercially-licensed kitchen, or will be cooked on-site at the market, please see the Food Vendor Regulations page for detailed information and requirements.  If you have any questions, please contact the Madison County Health Dept. Environmental Health Division at eh@madisoncountyil.gov or (618) 296-6079.

Madison County Health Department regulations have changed to now allow vendors to serve food that will be consumed on-site at the market. Food vendors operating out of a 10x10 tent will be subject to the same fee as a typical vendor, and the daily rate for food trucks (any food service vehicle requiring more than 11’ of frontage) will be $25 per week, with no seasonal option.

GROWERS: If you would like to sign up to accept the Senior Nutrition or WIC Vouchers, please contact Brittany Cunefare at 618-876-2383 or bcunefare@cyhs.com  to fill out an application. If you are interested in accepting SNAP benefits / LINK cards (formerly known as Food Stamps), you will need to be trained on which food items can be purchased and how the reimbursement procedure works. Please contact Sara McGibany at sara@altonmainstreet.org for details.
