Saturday mornings at the market would not be the same without our local musicians! We welcome you to share you talent, connect with visitors, and bring your energy to the market.

Performances are scheduled in advance after applications have closed. Musicians provide their own equipment and are responsible for bringing everything they need to perform.

The market provides a tent and access to electricity, and musicians receive an honorarium for their time.

Musician applications for the 2026 market year will be released in the Spring.

The Larimer County Farmers’ Market welcomes nonprofit organizations and community groups to share their mission with the community.
 

Applications

Due to the large volume of requests, we ask that organizations fill out an application to participate. Priority is given to those who have been featured at the market before, or those with a focus on local agriculture or hunger issues in our community. 

Applications for the 2026 market year will be released in the Spring.

 

Participation 

Participating organizations will be scheduled once or twice per season. There is no cost to participate, but we ask that organizations supply their own equipment (tent, etc).
