Quality Vendors Sought for Fairhaven's Summertime Huttleston Marketplace
If you are an artist, crafter, photographer, a vendor of antiques or vintage collectibles, or you sell
fresh farm produce or locally made food products, please consider joining the Huttleston
Marketplace on Saturdays this summer in Fairhaven, MA.
The Huttleston Marketplace will start its second season on Saturday, June 1, 2019, after a
successful run last summer. Application forms for vendors are now available at the marketplace
page on the Fairhaven Office of Tourism website or at the bottom of this page.
The marketplace, operated by the Fairhaven Office of Tourism, is held on Saturdays on the
lawn of the Fairhaven Visitors Center, 141 Main Street at the intersection of Route 6, next to
Fairhaven High School. In 2019 it will run from June 1 through September 14, with the exception
of June 29. On the Saturday following the end of the marketplace, September 21, the seventh
annual Harvest Fun Day will be held at the same location. Huttleston Marketplace vendors have
the option of adding Harvest Fun Day to their schedule.
Vendors may sign up for single Saturdays of their choice with a donation of $20 for an 11x11'
space. There is a nine-week discount rate of $100 for any nine weeks, and a full season
discount of $150 for the 15-week season. That works out to $10 per week. (Plus another $20
can be tacked on for Harvest Fun Day.) Some vendors sign up for one or two Saturdays at the
beginning of the season and then add on dates at $20 each as the summer goes on. One does
not need to choose all of the weeks at the beginning of the season.
Categories for Huttleston Marketplace vendors are:
• arts, crafts, photography (crafts must be handmade.)
• local authors
• antiques, vintage collectibles, used books
• whole fresh farm produce, plants
• prepared food (requires food vendor permit from BOH)
• the Huttleston Marketplace does not accept representatives/consultants for commercially
produced, direct sales products.
The cost of the space is a donation to the Tourism Gift Account and that money is used to
promote the marketplace, purchase related supplies, and to hire local musicians to perform
during the day.
Last season a total of 65 vendors participated during the course of the season. Each Saturday
there were about 30 to 35 booths set up. The majority of vendors are eager to return in 2019,
and we expect the marketplace will grow in its second season.
If you have any other questions, you may call the Fairhaven Office of Tourism at 508-979-4085 or email FairhavenTours@fairhaven-ma.gov.
