Market rules allow organizations, which are complimentary to the mission and goals of the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market to host a table promoting their group once per year. Organizations may request a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday market day. All requests will be confirmed as space is available and as market events allow.
Organizations may sell tickets for their fund-raising efforts based on market manager approval, and some items you may offer for donation based on market manager approval but no sales are to occur (bake sales are strictly prohibited, balloons are not permitted, and sales of any items other than tickets to events are prohibited). Organizations may distribute information about their programs or events scheduled through their organization, and must be approved by a market manager. Therefore, we ask that you prepare far enough in advance to submit your application and allow a 2-week advance notice for market approval.
Canopies that are 4’x6′ or 5’x5′ may be used, but MUST be weighted with a minimum of 40 lbs per leg. Umbrellas may also be used but must be weighted at least 160 lbs. Organizations can bring a 4-ft. table. The Market cannot provide these items. Please arrive on-site no later than 8 a.m. If you need assistance locating your space, check in at the Managers Booth, located on the corner of Center and Block on Saturdays and on Block St on Tuesdays and Thursdays
No fee or commission will be charged; however, organizations are required to be a non-profit group and are asked to promote the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market on social media, your website etc., prior to tabling at market.
Spaces are limited and must be scheduled in advance. When space allows, an organization may table more than once per season.
The Market is a wonderful place for musicians and we are happy to assist in locating the best spaces for you to play. We do however have limited spots available so you must be scheduled in advance. We will direct you to the places allocated for musicians and performers to ensure proper flow of foot traffic. Market Management reserves the right to ask you to move if you are impeding traffic flow or vendor commerce. Additionally, by order of city ordinance, no amplification is allowed on the square during market days and hours. The Market’s primary goal is to connect our vendors with their customers. We value the atmosphere musicians and entertainers provide, and we ask that you help us to maintain the priority purpose of the market, which is to build customer and vendor relationships.
You may perform for tips and should have a sign that clearly states that CDs and merchandise are available by donation only.
Due to the numerous requests for musicians and entertainers we may ask you to rotate to provide the opportunity for other musicians.
Musician spaces are allocated in 2 hour slots on each corner. 9 am – 11 am is our most requested time slot, musicians requesting that time only may not be scheduled more than once per month. Requests received less than 2 weeks in advance may not be able to be accommodated, as slots are filled in advance.
During Saturday markets, there are 17 spaces (T1-T17) on the square allocated to candidates and non profits for tabling. There is a map here which shows the relative location of the spaces. All tabling spaces are in the pedestrian flow of market customers. Each space will allow for up to 6 feet of tabling space with some space to separate each table. Table and chairs must be provided and moved into the spaces by the candidates.
Spaces will be reserved on a first come, first served basis.
