The NoMa Business Improvement District (NoMa BID) is seeking local creative & talented individual or group musicians for 2-hour performance sets for the NoMa Farmers Market at Third Street. The market will run every Thursday from 4-8 PM, on Third Street NE between M and N Sts. NE, & will run between April 30 and October 29 of 2026. Musicians should plan for 2-hour sets between 5 and 7 PM. There is ample onsite parking in the alley next to the Third Street Art Garden (1225 Third St NE), and the site is powered via extension cord. A 10x10 tent is available for use.

The NoMa BID is searching for artists that will provide an upbeat atmosphere with their music for the market for users to shop. Priority will be given to artists with more upbeat set lists and local artists, but all are encouraged to apply!

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but this portal will be closed once the schedule for musicians is filled for the entirety of the market. The BID will reach out to accepted musicians using the email provided by the musician in the form box.

Applicants are encouraged to reach out to Gavin Meyer via email at gmeyer@nomabid.org with further questions.
