🍂 THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS 🍂
═══════════════════════
Now in our 9th year—and backed by nearly two decades of local Neosho Farmers Market tradition—our market brings you the best of both seasons: autumn festival energy paired with early holiday gift buying.
And this year brings something truly special: an authentic, juried artisan market operating right in the middle of a magical, make-believe town!
While the "A Day in Stars Hollow" festival unfolds downtown-wide across the square and neighboring blocks, our event takes place right at home on our regular Neosho Farmers Market lot (corner of Spring & Jefferson, directly across from the library). It serves as the quintessential open-air artisan market you'd wander into on an autumn stroll through Stars Hollow!
Hop aboard the trackless mini train shuttle connecting destinations downtown-wide—one of the primary pick-up and drop-off hubs is located right at our market gate!

═══════════════════════
Taylor Doose insists on official disclosures: The concurrent downtown-wide festival "A Day in Stars Hollow" is an affectionate, fan-created, community celebration organized by local small business owners and admirers of the show. It is not an official, licensed, or sanctioned Warner Bros. production—just genuine small-town autumn magic!
