2026 Nashua Farmers Market Vendor Application
  • Nashua Farmers Market Food Vendor Interest Form

    The 2026 Market Season will run weekly on Sundays from 10AM - 1PM from May 26th to October 18th. This year, the Nashua Farmers Market will return to Main Street, taking place in Bicentennial and Renaissance Parks along our newly renovated Riverwalk. The market is centrally located in downtown Nashua and offers vendors a walkable, highly visible setting alongside the river. Our kick-off market will be held at the City of Nashua's Riverfront Grand Opening Memorial Day Weekend Celebration.
  • We offer both full-season vendor opportunities as well as a limited number of weekly spots. The Nashua Farmers Market is a rain or shine event. Unless there is a safety reason, all vendors are expected to attend even during inclement weather. As a seasonal vendor, you are committing to attending each week and agree to not miss more than two markets in the season (unless previously approved by the Market Manager). Please note that submitting an interest form does not guarantee participation. Once approved, you will receive a vendor agreement with payment options.
  • Per the City of Nashua, once accepted, all food vendors must submit an application and application fee to the Department of Environmental Health unless listed as exempt. Exemptions and additional information can be found below.
