Vendors
Vendor Applications for the 2024 season of 1st Friday Night Markets opened on February 1, 2024! All year, May 3, June 7, and July 5, 2024, vendor application periods have closed.
A completed application does not equal acceptance into the event. Vendor space is limited. We use a juried selection process for vendor selection and work hard to ensure we have a great lineup of diverse food options, makers, bakers, crafters, artists, farmers, boutiques and other local businesses.

Specialty vehicles of all kinds – new trucks, old cars, fast bikes, and everything in between – are invited to show off those polished wheels, that souped up engine, and the dice on the mirror.
No pre-registration required. Spaces are available on West Court Square and 6th Avenue on a first come, first serve basis.
Vehicles must enter event using Locust Street to 6th Avenue and must arrive before 5:30pm to participate.
