The Mid-South Music Festival is expanding its vendor offerings in 2026 with the introduction of the Mid-South Farmer’s Market, a new addition to the festival that will showcase locally grown and homemade products on Saturday, October 17.
Open from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the Mid-South Farmer’s Market will complement the festival’s craft vendor area by highlighting regional farmers, bakers, and homesteaders while giving festivalgoers another way to shop local.
Festival organizers are seeking vendors specializing in:
- Fall produce
- Sourdough breads and baked goods
- Homestead products
- Fresh herbs
- Seasonal baked goods
“Over the years, we’ve welcomed a variety of vendors to Mid-South Market, including talented bakers and local growers,” Festival Coordinator Jenna Friday said. “As Mid-South Market evolves into a juried arts and crafts market, we wanted to continue creating space for those vendors who have helped make our festival special. The Mid-South Farmer’s Market gives them a place to connect with festivalgoers while creating an experience that feels like a traditional Saturday morning market.”
The Mid-South Farmer’s Market will take place alongside the festival’s Saturday family programming, including STEM Tinkerfest activities presented by the Museum of Discovery, live science demonstrations, free art workshops, and live music throughout the afternoon.
Each vendor will receive a 10-by-10-foot space adjacent to the Mid-South Market. Tents will be provided, while tables and chairs are the responsibility of each vendor. Vendor registration is $50 per booth.
The 2026 Mid-South Music Festival will be held October 16-17 in downtown Arkadelphia. Admission is free.
