The Petersburg Market is a not-for-profit, community-focused, and volunteer-powered organization. We work to provide a space for regional vendors to sell homemade, handcrafted and homegrown items; we also provide space for hands-on service providers and appropriate local non-profit organizations. 

Email psg.market@gmail.com, with questions about the upcoming season.

Market Season 2022 has come to a close. The community atmosphere was encouraging with folks braving the rain to visit The Market. This year’s Market Manager Orin, the vendors, and Ware (our host at Inga’s Galley) deserve a round of applause for their work creating a welcoming environment.

With the last day of the Market behind us, and the nights lengthening, soon it will be time to settle into computer work and indoor pursuits. The Market Board will be reflecting on this season and brainstorming for the next. We can be reached at psg.market@gmail.com and welcome folks to reach out and share ideas and questions as we consider how to help The Market thrive for years to come.

*If you thought about vending this season, but it didn’t come together- consider starting your plan this fall! By taking each step in small chunks- you will be prepared for the next Market season before you know it. *

• Start by thinking about your interests and hobbies. Is there something you enjoy making in batches that could be scaled up to share? Something that takes some time and expertise to create?
• Consider the Market Days you attended this season. What was missing that would complement other products available to purchase- but isn’t already being offered? What categories currently aren’t represented?
• Make a list of different possibilities and consider what you would like to create, make, or grow for one or multiple market days. Check our Vendor page for tips!
• Explore a few of your top ideas- do some research on supplies, costs and (if possible) make a sample.
• Find a mentor or friend to share your inspiration with and bounce ideas with.
• Select a direction and set goals to do the research, order supplies, prep work, create batches, or start growing.
• Email us at the market board psg.market@gmail.com to ask questions about the business requirements and application process. Make sure to follow The Market on Facebook for updates and/or bookmark this site.
• Order, gather, or make any packaging materials for your booth and start a booth kit to gather your materials.
• Consider how you will create an interesting display on Market Day. Hint: Go vertical and shop your house for simple shelves, boxes, baskets, stands, trays, or other storage that provides a variety of height without competing with your goods.
• Let people know what you are bringing to the market via word-of-mouth & social media.
• Finish putting together your booth kit and supplies to take to Market day!

We can’t wait for another summer providing homegrown, handmade products to this beautiful community. We’re SO EXCITED, in fact, that we wanted to get the schedule out ASAP so you can start planning out what goodies you’re going to come up with this year!

Just about everything’s staying the same this year. Vending fees each market event are $15 for adults, $8 for kids 10-17, and free for kids under 10. We have one free table for a nonprofit each week, so if you’re part of a local nonprofit and want to claim one of those spots, reach out ASAP! It’s a great way to raise some money for your organization and interact with members of the community you may not see all that often.

The Market’s all about handmade, homegrown products, which means no reselling or prepackaged products. Reach out to our Market Manager Chelsea with any questions, 907-518-0590. We’ll have an informal Q&A session for potential vendors soon – just trying to get a date nailed down!

Thank you for your love of the Market – we love you too!

Keep an eye out here as well as our Facebook page for more details, like the 2016 vendor form and printed schedules (look for them in the mail, as well as about town and Events on Facebook). In the meantime, put these dates in your planner, tattoo them on your forehead, whatever works for you!

It’s going to be a great Market season, can’t wait to see you there!

A huge thanks goes out to all who participated in The Market this year. Whether you were a vendor, an attendee, a sponsor (thanks PEDC!), or volunteer, we are so appreciative of your help in making this one of our best season’s yet.

We have already begun preliminary planning for the 2016 season. It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work to put The Market on each year! Perhaps the highest level of commitment would be joining the board. At the low end would be volunteering a few hours a season to help us set up or cleanup or to distribute a few flyers to your friends and co-workers. If you’re interested in helping a little or a lot, please be in touch! Call or text Market Manager Chelsea Tremblay at 907-518-0590, email chelsealtremblay@gmail.com, or speak directly with one of our board members: Mary Koppes, Marja Smets, Jeigh Stanton Gregor or Lea Stanton Gregor.

Thanks to all the vendors and visitors of last week’s Midsummer Market at the Sons, we logged our highest number of visitors this season. Woo hoo!

We’re gonna keep the goodness rolling this Saturday, July 18, back at the ANB/ANS Hall from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. August will be jam-packed with three opportunities to stock up on veggies, art, dog treats, pie slices and other goodies—Aug. 1, 15 and 29. And we’ll close out the season on September 5.

We’ve loved seeing some new faces behind our vendor tables this year. If you’re a maker, grower, or crafter, consider using The Market as a means to sell your wares in the second half of our season. Kids welcome! Chelsea can help ya out, 518-0590, and/or check our more vendor info here.

Connecting Vendors & Community

We’re holding a short informational meeting about the DEC rules and regulations for selling food at farmer’s markets in Alaska?this Thursday, April 9 at 6 pm in the Petersburg Public Library.

Here’s the skinny: there’s quite a long list of food items you can make in your home and sell at The Market safely and legally. Some food items, however, have more requirements. To find about more about both categories, please join us and DEC rep Shawn Ryan on Thursday.

The Market season is right around the corner, start planning for your stand today!

Hello Market lovers!

While seedlings are being started indoors and rhubarb plants are starting to burst forth in brilliant shades of red, work is in full swing behind the scenes for The Market’s 2015 season.

Mark your calendars!?We’ve posted a 2015 schedule. The Market will be held every-other Saturday starting June 6 at the ANB/ANS Hall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. There won’t be a Market on July 4th, but stay tuned for a special event to be held in its place in July!

Interested in vending??We’ve posted some tips for vendors?and a long list of ideas for vendors-to-be. We’d love to see past vendors return for another great summer season as well as have some new folks join the ranks. If you’re creations are handmade or homegrown, consider selling at one, some, or all of The Market days this year to earn some extra cash and be a part of this special community event. More info here.

Check it out! Our website has a new look for 2015. Please look around to see what’s new.
