Uptown Marion Market vendor applications now open

MARION — Vendor applications for the 2022 Uptown Marion Market season are now being accepted. Uptown Marion Market, presented by Marion Platinum Community Partners, will be held the second Saturday, June through August, from 8 a.m. to noon. The Fall Marion Market will be held Sept. 24 from 8 a.m. to noon.

“The market is a great opportunity for local farmers and vendors to visit with and get to know their customers,” said Tami Schlamp, Uptown Marion Market coordinator. “It’s also a place for entrepreneurs to test the waters on new products and retail. We are always looking for new, unique vendors.”

The Uptown Marion Market will be held on Seventh Avenue and City Square Park in Uptown Marion and will feature vendors, music and family-friendly programming. Power of Produce also will return this year, providing a fun opportunity for children to engage in the local food system through activities, sampling, and buying produce.
