Market on the Square

The Winterville Chamber is proud to continue the Market on the Square tradition in 2026! This seasonal market series brings together local vendors, community organizations, and families for evenings full of connection, shopping, and fun.

The Market on the Square series is made possible through our valued partnership with the Town of Winterville. We appreciate the support we receive from Curtis Media Group and the Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge.

Markets will be held on the second Friday of each month from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at 252 Main Street in Winterville on the following dates:

• June 12th (Juneteenth Celebration)
• July 10th (Touch-a Truck)
• August 14th (National Night Out/Back to School Splash)
• September 11th ( Community Heroes Day)

The following specialty dates are extensions of the Market, but have different themes and locations. These also have vending opportunities and you may apply using the same application. Please be sure you note the locations, times, and dates.

Market on the Square is designed to showcase local businesses, artisans, vendors, and community organizations. Each market features a variety of vendors selling handmade goods, specialty foods, and unique products, along with activities that make the event enjoyable for the whole family. Guests can expect a lively, welcoming atmosphere with entertainment and opportunities to connect with others in the community.

Participation in Market on the Square is free for Winterville Chamber members and $25 per market for non-members.

Our Christmas Market is a special annual fundraiser supporting the Winterville Police Department's Shop with a Cop program. Vendor participation for this event is $15 for Chamber members and $30 for non-members.

This event continues to be made possible through the support of community partners and the Town of Winterville, helping us create a space where local businesses can grow and residents can gather to enjoy our shared Slice of the Good Life.

If you're interested in becoming a vendor, please review the application details and submit your completed application.
