Start with official information.
Market organizers and municipal pages help us check addresses, hours and season dates. Imported directory entries start as information to review.

THE PLAN FOR TRUST
Useful details.
With a clear trail.
A market listing should help you make a plan. Our review process is being built to show what’s checked, what’s uncertain, and what needs another look.
Keep uncertainty visible.
Sources and checking dates belong beside the details. Missing information and conflicting schedules need review before they become promises.
Make updates easier.
We’re developing tools for verified managers to update schedules and cancellations. A regular schedule will stay distinct from confirmation for a specific day.
FOR MARKET MANAGERS
Help us build something
worth opening every week.
We’re looking for Chicago-area managers to test the workflow before public launch. Tell us how you handle schedules, vendor lists and last-minute changes.
Talk with TonyOpens your email app. No payment or subscription is required to ask about the pilot.
What we’re working toward
- Verify who can manage each market
- Review details before publishing changes
- Keep seasonal schedules and exceptions clear
- Bring vendor lists into a simpler workflow
These manager tools are in development.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before opening day.
Can I download MarketNow today?
Not yet. We’re building and testing for the 2027 market season. This website introduces the project; it is not the live market directory.
Where are you starting?
Chicago and nearby suburbs, including pilot listings in Logan Square, Wheaton and Wilmette. Wider coverage will expand as listings pass review.
Does a listing mean a market or vendor is open right now?
No. Published schedules, a market’s confirmation for a specific date, and vendor attendance are different kinds of information. We’re building the app to keep those distinctions clear.
Can I suggest a correction or a market?
Yes. Email Tony with the market name, city and an official source link if available. Please don’t send private vendor documents or payment details.
