The Farmers and Artisans Market is designed to support and strengthen our traditional industry of agriculture; to support the local economy and encourage entrepreneurs; to help keep downtown vital and to enhance our experience of community. All vendors are seasonal or year-round residents of Nantucket, and all goods sold are grown or produced on the island. Vendors include growers, artisans, and prepared food purveyors. There are live music performances, activity tables, demonstrations and space for additional local nonprofits to share their mission. The market, located in the heart of downtown Nantucket on Cambridge + North Union Streets, is held on Saturdays from early June to mid-October and occasional holiday weekend pop-ups.
