Open Air Market of Stockbridge to add food trucks to the mix

Information provided by Open Air Market of Stockbridge

For those who like trucks—food trucks, that is—the Open Air Market of Stockbridge will be the place to be this year!  As the market enters its 13th year on May 5, 2023, it is shaking things up. The first two Fridays of each month, from May through September, the market will feature food trucks. The food truck vendors will be available on a rotating basis, including Heather’s Mobile Kitchen, Jay’s Dogs, Krystal’s Kitchen and K&D Southern Fixin’s. Market hours are 4-7pm each Friday.

Of course, market-goers can also count on a variety of table vendors who will entice their customers with all manner of goods: in-season vegetables and fruits, honey, maple syrup, jams, eggs, granola, breads, baked goods, cookies, pies, soaps, lotions, candles, art, and more. Vendor fees have remained the same since the start of the market 13 years ago—$10 per booth per day.

Regional musicians will be back to fill the air with song, thanks to funding from 5 Healthy Towns Foundation, Friends of the Stockbridge Library, CADL, Stockbridge Area Arts Council and the Stockbridge Downtown Development Authority. Market Music will run each Friday from 5:30-7pm, May through September, weather-permitting (and sometimes into October).  Patrons are encouraged to bring their chairs and enjoy an evening of music on the square in the company of neighbors and friends.

Adding to the action, at dusk on the third Friday of each month, the market will be followed by the Stockbridge Township Movie Night (except September when it will be the last Friday).

The market is always looking for more vendors with new items and non-partisan community groups eager to share their stories and information.  For more information on scheduling a booth at the market or for a schedule of events, visit the OpenAirMarketofStockbridge Facebook page or the Market’s website at StockbridgeMarket.org.
