KENNETT SQUARE, PA — Clover Market will bring more than 95 independent merchants to Kennett Square on October 18 for its final outdoor event of 2026, drawing regional artisans, vintage dealers and food vendors to the borough before shifting to a larger indoor holiday market in West Chester next month.
The free market will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot at 600 S. Broad Street, across from Kennett High School. Organized with support from Kennett Collaborative and the Borough of Kennett Square, the event will feature handmade merchandise, vintage goods, food trucks and live entertainment.
The gathering places nearly 100 small businesses within walking distance of Kennett Square’s downtown shopping and restaurant district, providing additional opportunities for customer traffic at nearby establishments.
Participating merchants will offer jewelry, ceramics, clothing, textiles, home furnishings, candles, specialty foods and other products. Vendors include Derby Mill Farm, Lancaster Farmacy, Warwick Furnace Farm, Mud and Maker, The Mid-Century Sisters and Swarmbustin’ Honey.
Food and beverage operators will include Dos Hermanos Tacos, Philly Hots, Redstone Pizza, Humpty’s Dumplings, Mayday Coffee, Hangry Bear Creamery and Mr. Big Stuff Cookies.
Braeloch Brewing and Grace Winery will provide alcoholic beverages, while local musicians Hake & Jarema are scheduled to perform from noon to 3 p.m.
Additional activities include free children’s crafts organized by DEAN Adventure Camps, paid face painting by Jassy Facepaint and participation by Finding Shelter, an animal rescue organization.
The outdoor market will proceed rain or shine, with cancellation considered only for severe or dangerous weather. Organizers expect to make any weather-related cancellation decision by midday Saturday, October 17, and will post updates on social media.
Admission is free, and leashed, well-socialized dogs are permitted. Free parking is available in the Kennett High School lots directly across from the market, along with other public parking areas and legal street spaces throughout the borough.
The Kennett Square event precedes Clover Market’s fourth annual indoor Holiday Market, scheduled for November 21 and 22 at the Westtown School Athletic Center in West Chester.
That event will expand the merchant lineup to more than 120 artisan and vintage vendors occupying approximately 33,000 square feet of indoor exhibition space.
The holiday market will operate from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, with free admission and parking. Merchandise will include jewelry, ceramics, clothing, home goods, artwork, specialty foods, holiday decorations and handcrafted gifts.
The November event will also feature food trucks and indoor food vendors, with different dining options scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
Westtown School’s campus can be accessed from 975 Westtown Road or 960 Shady Grove Way. Parking will be available in designated campus lots, with attendants directing vehicles and accessible parking provided near the Athletic Center.
Unlike the outdoor Kennett Square event, the indoor holiday market will permit only service animals.
The October market’s vendor lineup remains subject to change. Additional information, participating merchants and event updates are available at https://theclovermarket.com/pages/kennettsquaremarket.
