One of Downtown Racine’s most loved summer traditions is back! HayMarket returns to Monument Square for Summer 2026, bringing back the vibrant night market atmosphere so many people look forward to each year.
HayMarket will be held on six summer dates, transforming Monument Square into a lively evening destination featuring local makers, food vendors, live music, a beer garden, and a family-friendly downtown vibe. Vendor applications are now open—and spaces filled completely last year, so we encourage interested vendors to apply early.
Why vendors love HayMarket:
- Over $475,000 in direct downtown spending generated during the 2025 series
- 1,500+ visitors per market date
- 100% of surveyed vendors said they would recommend HayMarket to other vendors
- Attendees spent an average of $51 per person, with many also shopping or dining before and after the market
Vendor applications and the full 2025 Event Impact Report are linked below.
We can’t wait to welcome both returning and new vendors for another great summer downtown.
