Produce in the Park’s summer farmers markets are held weekly on Thursday evenings (4:30-6:30 PM) in the Atlantic City Park from June 5th through September 25th, 2025.

Produce in the Park seeks vendors who sell handmade or homegrown foods and crafts. The 2025-2026 Holiday Farmers Market Series vendor fee is $25 per market. However, vendors who register for all five markets and pay by October 1 receive a $25 discount, bringing the total to $100 for all five markets.
Produce in the Park seeks sponsors who support community and wellbeing. Sponsorships offer various levels of recognition, including mention in radio and newspaper ads and press releases, booth space at markets, and the organization’s logo on event flyers. 2025-2026 holiday market sponsorships range from $250 to $1,000.
Annual sponsors for the full 2025-2026 summer and holiday market season include the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce, Cass County Tourism, Cass Health, City of Atlantic, First Whitney Bank & Trust, Nishna Valley YMCA, and Gregg Young Chevrolet of Atlantic.
