The City of Kingston, Ontario, has opened the vendor application process for the 2026 Kingston Public Market season, which begins on April 1, 2026. Local artisans and farmers can now apply to sell their goods at Springer Market Square using a new digital system designed to make registration easier.
To join the city’s longest-running market, prospective sellers must now create a “MyKingston” account to submit their applications online. This new portal centralizes the registration process for the historic downtown hub located behind City Hall.
Stall rental fees for the 2026 season range from $463.50 to $1,001.59, depending on the type of space requested. These prices do not include the Harmonized Sales Tax, and vendors who need more than one stall must pay the full fee for each spot.
Local food producers and stands have an extra step to complete before they can start selling this spring. They are required to undergo a review by local health officials to ensure they follow provincial safety rules for food premises.
The market serves as a central meeting place for small business owners and shoppers in the community. By moving to an online application system, the city aims to help vendors plan their participation more effectively for the upcoming summer months.
