The Southport Summer Market was developed to provide a place for local growers and crafters to sell their goods directly to consumers, to educate consumers about local farming and seasonal eating, to encourage and promote the use of locally grown farm products and locally prepared foods; and to enhance quality of life in Southport by providing a community activity that fosters social gathering and interaction. The motto that supports our purpose is “Home Grown & Home Made”. Arts and Crafts must be handmade or hand-crafted.

The Southport Summer Market is sponsored by the City of Southport. The purpose of these rules is to govern the operation, administration and management of the Summer Market. The following rules and regulations are not intended to burden participants but to ensure smooth operation, fairness and success of the Market.
