Surfside Farmers Market Introduces Rotating Booth to Highlight Local Resident Vendors


The Surfside Farmers Market is welcoming local artisans and entrepreneurs to participate in its weekly event, now held every Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. starting on Oct. 12. The market is dedicated to featuring handmade, one-of-a-kind items, with specific guidelines to ensure a high-quality shopping experience.

In a new initiative by the Resort Tax Board, the market will feature a rotating booth exclusively dedicated to showcasing Surfside residents' creations. This booth is designed to highlight the talents of the local community, giving Surfside-based vendors a special opportunity to display their goods.

Vendors must offer handmade and unique products, as mass-produced goods are not permitted. Food and beverage sellers are required to adhere to state and county permit regulations, with exceptions for those operating under cottage food laws. The market encourages a cooperative atmosphere, ensuring vendors do not directly compete with others already participating. Advertising booths and garage sales are also prohibited.

If you are a Surfside resident, please fill out an application online VIA THIS FORM and email [email protected]. Applications will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
