Music at the Market

The market is not just a place to buy groceries, it's also a place to enjoy some live music. On Saturdays, local musicians may be scheduled to perform and create a lively atmosphere in Wilson Park. Come and enjoy the sounds of the city while you shop local.

​

Scheduled music:

Performers who are an appropriate fit for our markets may contact us to arrange for a date and time to perform under either a designated 10 x 10 canopy or on stage, at select markets days only. ("Appropriate" includes: moderate volume, family-friendly, enjoyable skill level, and a positive attitude. The band shell stage has an access to electrical outlets; music could also be played acoustic.)

​

Buskers must check in with the market manager when they show up, and are given a designated spot/time to play, if available.

​

​​A few guidelines for our performers:

  • Music must be kept at a volume that does not interfere with market conversations and sales.

  • Menomonie Farmers Market does not offer any compensation to the musicians; performers play for tips only;

  • Menomonie Farmers Market does not provide any equipment.

​​

 

Our farmers markets are private events to which we welcome the public. We reserve the right to refuse space to anyone.
