Friends & Lovers Market 2026
Ends on
SAAC's Friends & Lovers Market is back for another year! This year's market will take place alongside a Starkville DIY concert at the Triangle Trading Post on Sunday, February 15th, from 5-8 PM.
We are seeking a diverse selection of both art and food vendors (cottage food included) and all mediums are welcome. There is no set theme, but vendors are welcome to sell Valentine's-themed items if they choose.
We're expecting to accommodate up to 20 vendors for this year's market.
The deadline to apply is February 8th by midnight. All applications must be made online. Applications will be reviewed by SAAC Staff, and accepted vendors will be notified via email by Feb 10th. More information will be sent to accepted vendors around this time as well.
This market will have a $15 booth fee for accepted vendors. Booth Payments can be made by cash, card, or check during setup. This will go towards the cost of planning the event, refreshments, etc. You must supply all your own tables/decor; limited to one table per vendor.
All final sales go to the vendor. Sales taxes WILL be collected by SAAC on behalf of all vendors and reported to the Department of Revenue.
All sales from the SAAC Artist Store or other SAAC merchandise will be handled by SAAC Staff or Volunteers.
