Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Chardon, Ohio

Chardon Family Market runs June through August on Saturdays in downtown Chardon. Ohio-only sourcing for produce; growers selling organic must have State of Ohio certification. Handcrafted items welcome—no secondhand or flea-market goods. Cottage food (bakery, jams, jellies, candy) permitted if labeled correctly. Food vendors must have tents, proper equipment, and meet Geauga County health standards. Vendor spaces assigned by seniority can be held for the entire season.

Held on the first Saturday in June on Chardon Square. Over 100 vendors selling antiques, collectibles, produce, plants, homemade items, and so much more. Booth locations are first come, first served on the day of the market—no advance requests or reservations. Bring your own booth furnishings; no on-site unloading assistance. Vehicles must be moved after unloading—a strictly enforced policy; failure to comply results in exclusion from future markets.
