Logan Square Farmers Market Opens Applications for 2026 Outdoor Season After Construction Hiatus

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Logan Square · February 17, 2026

After two years of limited vendor participation due to construction around the Logan Square Monument area, the beloved Logan Square Farmers Market has announced it is reopening applications for all interested vendors ahead of its 2026 outdoor season. The announcement marks a significant shift for the popular community gathering, which had previously filled vendor spots through a grandfathered process during construction periods.

"For the 2026 Outdoor Season, we are excited to reopen the application process to all interested vendors," market organizers stated on their website. The application process will be fully competitive, meaning both new and returning vendors must apply and will be reviewed alongside the full applicant pool. Market organizers emphasized their goal of curating "a balanced, high-quality market that reflects our mission, values, and the needs of our community," though they cautioned that space remains limited for the popular weekly event.

The Logan Square Farmers Market, which has operated since 2005 and is organized by the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce, stands as one of the only weekly, year-round farmers markets in Chicago. Neighborhood residents and visitors are encouraged to follow the market's social media channels for updates as the spring season approaches. The market has previously been recognized as "Best Farmers Market in Chicago" by Chicago Magazine and honored as the Best Farmers Market in Illinois by USA Today.
