Vendor Application & Market Information

ABOUT

The 2026 Moonlight Market Series will take place Thursday evenings — July 9, 16, 23, 30, and August 6 — from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM. This highly anticipated event is produced by the Owosso Farmers Market and draws thousands of shoppers throughout the series. Set along the Riverwalk and Curwood Castle Park in Downtown Owosso, the Moonlight Market is a family-friendly, artisan-focused celebration designed to coincide with the City’s summer concert series at the nearby amphitheater.

All interested vendors must submit a separate application for Moonlight Market, even if you are already approved for the Saturday market. Applications are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis, and space is limited. Due to high interest, not all applicants will be approved. Prior participation does not guarantee future acceptance.

APPLICATION REVIEW & DECISION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor for the 2026 Moonlight Market Series! Please remember all of our events receive an abundance of applicants. If you are not selected or are waitlisted for approval at this specific market, we encourage you to still apply for future artisan markets! Many applicants will be added to our waitlist or declined for a variety of reasons that include:

The category you applied for is highly competitive.
We work hard to balance how many vendors and types of products we have in each category. Our markets implement quality over quantity for consumer demand. This allows us to consistently produce successful market experiences and make our events optimal for vendors and customers.
Your business or products do not meet vendor requirements
This includes product quality, the type of category you applied for, and/or not aligning with our mission
Lack of professionalism
We value our time and yours, and will not request additional info if your application is incomplete or vague. We will also not tolerate or engage with disrespectful communication. Past or present encounters that include conflict or unnecessary drama in any form are taken into consideration.
