2026 Summer Reading Farmers Market

Market Information

WCPL will host the Summer Reading Farmers Market at SOKY Center’s pavilion the summer of 2026, and we would love for you apply.

The market will be a vibrant and welcoming space where local farmers, makers, and community members come together to showcase products, share stories and foster connections. The market provides more than just a place to shop – it’s an opportunity for the public to support small businesses, learn from local experts, and engage with neighbors.

Whether shoppers are looking for fresh produce, handmade goods, or unique artisan products, they will find something special here every week. We want folks to come through the market and be able to get all the ingredients they need for a full meal. We invite people to come for the produce and stay for the community!

This application form is for vendors who create unique items (artists, makers, or crafters) and want to participate in the weekly market taking place Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, from June 6 through August 1 (minus July 4 and July 18).
