Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Houma, Louisiana

Held in Houma, Downtown Houma Makers Market runs free Tuesday afternoon markets spring and fall — growers, makers, and food producers pay no vendor fee. You'll handle your own tax paperwork. The market enforces a tight setup window (no earlier than 2:00 p.m. spring, 1:30 p.m. fall) and requires vendors to stay through closing to keep foot traffic flowing smoothly. Special Saturday markets run throughout the year.
