Farmers' Market on Broadway 2021 

Thank you for your interest in the 2021 Farmers’ Market on Broadway (FMOB)! Due to the unpredictable times and current state we are in, the logistical piece of how the Farmers’ Market On Broadway will look in 2021 is yet to be determined.  Ideally the Farmers’ Market will be back on the street of Broadway, but we are planning accordingly if that is not plausible. We are currently working with the City of Green Bay, Special Events and the Brown County Health Department to come up with a plan to create a safe and enjoyable experience.  As more information becomes available applied vendors will be notified with additional details. We don’t know where the market will take place and what guidelines will be set in place yet, but we need to start planning for this season.  With that being said, we suggest applying and submitting payment by the set deadline and you will be reimbursed if not selected or choose not to participate. Please reach out to Allie Thut at allie@onbroadway.org with any additional questions!  Please read carefully for all information regarding becoming a vendor.

2020 Applicants:

• If you applied to be a vendor in 2020 and chose to defer your vendor fee to 2021, that does NOT guarantee you into the 2021 Farmers Market and you will need to fill out the vendor application for 2021, but do not need to submit payment.  If you do not get selected for 2021, your vendor fee will be reimbursed.
