OUR LOCAL MARKET
The Dyersville Downtown Market was founded by the Dyersville Young Professionals, a local nonprofit organization, in 2018 and has flourished thanks to the support of the community. This event was designed to celebrate community and encourage entrepreneurship, as well as provide a fun event that all ages could attend.
We invite you to join us at one (or all) of the Saturday Markets shopping with family and friends. Whether you are coming to enjoy local produce, cuisine or to simply find a new outfit at a local boutique, we always encourage you to #supportlocal. We also encourage you to visit all of the wonderful downtown businesses located just a few blocks away!
At each Market you can find local small businesses from the surrounding area, as well as LIVE Music performed by local musicians.

MARKET DETAILS
On behalf of our entire Dyersville Downtown Market committee, we want to thank you for joining us at our Downtown Market. We are hoping for this event to not only support the vendors, but also our entire downtown.
Q. Do I need to supply my own tables, chairs, tent, etc.?
A. YES, you are responsible to supply your entire set up.
Q. How big of a space do I get?
A. 10x10. Spaces will be first come first serve in regards to placement. Please note some spaces will be on GRASS only and others will be on concrete. Plan for either as spaces are not assigned. We ask that you get comfy with other vendors to ensure we have plenty of room.
Q. What if I need electricity?
A. Electricity is very limited. We will need to know ahead of time if this applies to you so that we can prepare. We typically leave the electricity to our food trucks and other activities. You can purchase a small generator from Amazon. Electricity is coming soon for all!
Q. What time is the event?
A. The event will run from 8AM to 12PM -- as you all know people will arrive early and leave late.
Q. What time am I able to set up?
A. You are welcome to come anytime before 8. Someone will be there to help answer any questions or assist you at 7AM. Please note if you arrive before 7AM and don't match up with our layout, we may ask you to move your spot.
Q. Will I be able to shop around at the other vendors and downtown?
A. Of course!
Q. What if I only signed up for one of the markets, but would like to do more?
A. No problem, send us a message or email, or fill out the form again for the additional markets you want to attend.
Q. What if it rains? Will you still have it or cancel?
A. Our plan as of now is to either postpone to the next month or move forward with the event. We will certainly keep you posted. This is also very YOU based. If you don't feel comfortable coming, you don't have to as it is a FREE market. Keep an eye on our FACEBOOK for quick details.
Q. Where is the event?
A. The event will take place on the green space located in front of the Basilica in Dyersville or at the intersection of 3rd Ave SW and 2nd St SW.
Q. Where will I be able to park?
A. There will be plenty of vendor parking in the parking lot of the Basilica and Xavier Elementary school. We are hoping to leave all close parking to the paying customers of yours. Feel free to park close to unload and set up. We then ask you to move your trucks/vans and trailers unless part of your display to the parking lot described.
Q. Do I need insurance on the products I sell?
A. You are completely responsible for the products you sell, your booth, and your business. The Dyersville Downtown Market is not responsible.
Q. Where is the Winter Market Located?
A. It will always be held outside unless bad weather. If the weather is bad then we will hold the vendor portion of the market in the Xavier School gym.
