Our Mission Statement
Downtown Hartford Market is established to promote locally grown food and local handmade artisan products. It is a place to promote community stewardship and a platform to invest in unique local small businesses and fundraising activities. We do not have vendor spots for direct sales, mlm, or information booths at this time, please inquire about our fundraising opportunities if this fits your situation.
Hours & Setup
Hours are 5:00-8:30 pm May 30, June 27, July 25, August 29, and September 26. Located on Main Avenue from Second St to Menth St (South Bar.)
Vendors may set up 1 hour prior, no earlier than 4 pm
The market is open rain or shine and it is up to the vendor’s discretion to set up in inclement weather.
Selling spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis, there is no reserving space for others. Typical stall space is 10’x10’. If you share a booth with another vendor, you must fit in one space.
Set up will be on the street, leaving sidewalk space for pedestrians, starting at Second St and filling in towards South Bar. Food booths will be south of 1st and Main with room for tables in the center of the street.
Children's Activities
Thursday make sure you bring the kids downtown to enjoy time at the farmer's market. We'll have our scavenger hunt, crafts, and rock painting to keep the kids busy while you shop.

Sponsorship
The Downtown Hartford Farmer’s Market Team would love to invite you to participate in the 2024 Downtown Market Sponsorship for our upcoming season. We value all businesses, big and small, for their many contributions to our vibrant community. While the Downtown Hartford Market is specifically intended to showcase the Hartford Areas hidden artisan talent and locally available foods, as a handmade and homegrown market, we wanted to provide an opportunity for our other business owners to bring exposure to their products, services, and locations. Your sponsorship will help us to advertise to a broader audience and provide family friendly activities & entertainment this year.
