2025 Vendor/Farm Interest Form

Thank you for your interest in being a vendor/farm at the Austin Town Hall Farmers Market. Located at 5610 West Lake Street, Chicago IL 60644, the market takes place every Thursday (rain or shine) from 1:00 PM-6:00 PM in Austin Town Hall Park in front of the historic Austin Town Hall. Every week, we curate a market featuring local artisans, growers, farmers, chefs, bakers, and more for the Austin neighborhood, the second largest community area in Chicago.


*All vendors must be set-up at 12:30 PM; 30 minutes prior to opening of the market*


A non-refundable one-time application fee of $13 is due at the time of application. On a weekly basis, the per market fee is $15 for each Thursday market during the season.


This is not the official application for the market; this is an interest form. We are in the process of setting up our official application on the Manage My Market platform. We invite you to complete a Vendor Global Profile on Manage My Market; you will need to do this when we officially open applications in early 2025.


The 2025 market season will take place every Thursday from June 12 - October 30.


The Austin Town Hall Farmers Market's mission is to bring the community a vibrant shopping experience where Austin neighborhood residents can access healthy food, build bonds with neighbors, and enjoy time outdoors. We strive to include in our market items that are original, handmade, unique, and designed or produced locally.

Check each category for which you plan to bring product to the market.
