Thank you for your interest in performing at the Bellingham Farmers Market. The Farmers Market welcomes buskers to play/perform at the Market. Music and other types of entertainment typically enhance the Market atmosphere and contribute to the festivities. It is important, however, to ensure that all buskers adhere to the Market policies as outlined in the Bellingham Farmers Market Handbook. Please see the Handbook excerpt below that pertains to performers.

Thanks for considering the Market as a nice place to perform.
