Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Bowling Green, Kentucky

Holiday expo, 75+ vendors

36th-annual festival; foreign foods, cultural displays & merchandise booths

Community Farmers Market in Bowling Green began in 2011 with six vendors and has grown into a hub with over 40 vendors. Located at 2319 Nashville Road near WKU South Campus & the Knicely Conference Center, this is a year-round, producer-only farmers market. Unlike seasonal markets, CFM offers a year-round indoor venue bringing together farmers, bakers, artisans, and food producers —produce, meats, cheese, baked goods, crafts, and more. The market accepts SNAP, WIC, and FMNP benefits with Kentucky Double Dollars matching.

Held in downtown Bowling Green across Fountain Row — SoKY Marketplace, Circus Square, and Fountain Square — this annual October festival marks the close of the farmers market season and kicks off fall with craft vendors, local food trucks, live music, and family programming. The event draws shoppers looking to support local makers and producers. Free admission and over 1,200 free parking spots downtown.

Held twice a year in Bowling Green at Highland Stables, GypsyMoon Marketplace brings together 80+ handpicked makers, boutiques, and artisans from across the U.S. under twinkle lights and a barn setting. Voted a top 10 indoor market by Flea Market Decor Magazine, the event draws shoppers specifically looking for one-of-a-kind finds and community connection — live music, local food vendors, and a curated vendor mix make it feel more like a celebration than a transaction. Shoppers praise the relaxed browsing experience and the chance to talk directly with makers about their work.
