2025 Non-Profit/Community Organization Application for European Market

Nonprofit + Community Organization Application for European Market 2025
The Chesterton's European Market would like to invite you to apply for our 2025 market season. Celebrate our 22nd year of bringing the best offerings of the region. Chesterton's European Market has been a staple in Northwest Indiana since it opened in 2003, set in the center of the business district and main park.

We will highlight one nonprofit per week at the market and on social media with over 22k followers, providing an opportunity to showcase your mission, products, or services to our community.
General Rules:

Depending on what you plan on bringing to the market, please keep in mind these general rules to operate in the market:
- Anything to sell - ensure you have your business license, if required and payment options for customers (cell service is very good in the area for cc payments).
- Any food items will need to be vetted through the Porter County Health Deptartment, if cooked, baked or needs cold/heat to keep fresh.
