Free events in Dodge City, KS

A community-wide yard sale will take place across Pratt, Kansas. Sale locations will be promoted on social media, printed maps will be available at the Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce, and an advertisement will run in the Tri-County Tribune. A compiled list of participating sales and maps will be shared during the week the sale occurs. Sellers can register for a $10 fee that helps cover advertising and yard signs. Each registered sale receives a sign to place at its location, with pickup and return at the Pratt Area Chamber of Commerce, and a banner will be displayed ahead of the event. Registrations can be edited only until the stated deadline. After that point, listings remain on the marketing and maps and no further corrections will be made. This community sale is coordinated and promoted by local volunteers.

A community farmers market gathers shoppers and vendors in an outdoor setting for a welcoming experience of buying and selling. Prepare for changing weather, and vendors should check in with Market Manager Laura Porter upon arrival. Each vendor is allotted one parking space unless additional space is approved by the Market Manager, and driving or parking on the grass around the theater lot is not permitted. After setup, vehicles may not pass through the vendor area to help protect vendors, children, and animals. Vendors are responsible for keeping their spaces clean, food vendors need to provide their own trash cans, and teardown should be completed promptly so the movie theater can begin business. Shoppers are encouraged to explore the vendor community and enjoy the market atmosphere. Parking for the community is available along the far south side of the lot near Randy's Donuts. The market is not responsible for accidents, lost or stolen merchandise, or supervision of children, so please remain vigilant.
