Dillon Farmers Market

A City Event Permit closes the street so vendors can begin setting up at 7 am, a detail that gives Dillon Farmers Market a distinctly town-centered footprint rather than a parking-lot layout. The market runs in Dillon on Saturdays during the summer season, with its listed address at 20 N. Montana Street and a nearby reference to South Washington Street between Reeder and Sebree by Jaycee Park. That street-closure setup shapes the experience as much as the shopping: this is a market built into downtown circulation, not apart from it. Its organization also has staying power, operating as Dillon Farmers Market Inc., a nonprofit 501(c)(4) social welfare organization effective August 31, 2011.

Why it matters locally

Dillon Farmers Market Inc. is organized as a nonprofit corporation and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt social welfare organization, effective August 31, 2011. That structure matters because the market is presented not simply as a weekly sales stop, but as an incorporated local organization with rules, meetings, and a board.

The board includes President Janet Tatarka, Vice President Jess Fields, Secretary Ron Bottoms, Treasurer Damian Guillen, and At-Large Board Member Elizabeth Walters. The market also schedules formal meetings, including an annual member meeting in the upstairs conference room at Lucy Carson Library on the UM Western Campus and a 2025 Annual Vendor Meeting on April 15, 2025. Those named people and recurring governance pieces give the market a clearly maintained local structure.

What you'll find there

The market’s public materials lean more toward vendor connections and market organization than product-by-product promotion, so what stands out here is the framework for finding sellers rather than a published roster of goods. Shoppers looking for current vendor contacts are directed to the market’s vendor-finding page.

An annual member meeting is scheduled at Lucy Carson Library on the UM Western Campus, and a 2025 Annual Vendor Meeting is also listed for April 15, 2025.

Know before you go

No dogs and no restrooms are the two details most likely to change how you plan your visit. If you are arriving with a pet or expecting on-site facilities, adjust before you head downtown. The market’s seasonal Saturday window is 9 am to 1 pm, and the City Event Permit allows vendors to start setting up at 7 am as the street closes for the market.

For navigation, keep both location references in mind: the listed address is 20 N. Montana Street, and the market is also described on South Washington Street between Reeder and Sebree streets by Jaycee Park. Payment methods are indicated as clear in the market’s visit details, though no SNAP/EBT claim is listed here. For market business beyond shopping, the annual member meeting takes place at Lucy Carson Library on the UM Western Campus.
