The Oil City farmers market is set to open its 2022 season in mid-June. The open-air curb market will operate 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays, beginning June 16, and continuing through Sept. 30 on lower Central Avenue near Christ Episcopal Church and the Oil City Library.
The market is accepting vendor applications from those who sell farm-fresh, homegrown, handcrafted or homemade items such as fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, baked goods, honey products, dairy, eggs, meat, nuts, mushrooms and similar products as well as handcrafted items and original art.
“Our main focus is always on fresh food for your table, but the right balance of handmade artisan products adds variety and dimension to the market,” said Kathy Bailey, manager of the Oil City Main Street Program, which facilitates the market. “We’ve had a good mix of vendors for the past several years and a number of our regular vendors intend to return again this season. We also allow one registered nonprofit organization per week on a space available basis, for those who wish to provide community outreach during the season,” Bailey said.
Interested vendors and organizations may contact the Oil City Main Street Office at (814) 677-3152 for an application packet or further information.
