Fall Market and Mingle

On Saturday, October 4, 2025 we will be hosting an outdoor market style event in the heart of Downtown West Salem. We are setting up local crafters/vendors, local businesses and food trucks on the sidewalks on Leonard St and Memorial Drive in conjunction with the already scheduled 12th Annual American Legion Craft show and the 3rd Annual Fall Festival at the Palmer Gullickson house. All funds raised from the vendor fees (after expenses) will go to the “It Takes a Village” initiative being facilitated by the West Salem Area Community Foundation. This outdoor market is meant to highlight all of what the Village of West Salem has to offer the Coulee Region and what better day than the Saturday of Octoberfest Race weekend when our village welcomes thousands of people into our community.

The event will run from 9am -2pm

All participants are responsible for bringing everything they need to set up and operate during the event. (Ie…tables, chairs, tents, etc… as we will not be providing those things for anyone and this is a rain or shine event. All fees paid are non-refundable and are a donation to the West Salem Area Community Foundation to benefit the “It Takes a Village” fundraising campaign (for more information on It Takes a Village, please check out the campaigns Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61572667254498 )

We are also looking for volunteers to help with planning and the day of the event in guiding participants to their assigned spots.

We would like to make this an annual event
