Pet Policy

Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome at the market. Service animals are welcome as permitted by law.

​

Dog owners are responsible for ensuring that their dog does not relieve itself within the market area. If a dog goes to the bathroom anywhere on the property, the owner must clean it up immediately.

​

Dogs must remain under the owner’s control at all times. Retractable or extension leashes are discouraged in the crowded market environment. Any dog showing aggressive behavior must be removed from the market area immediately.

​

If a dog is disruptive, repeatedly bothers customers or vendors, creates excessive noise, or otherwise presents a safety concern, the owner may be asked to remove the dog from the market area. Market staff reserves the right to determine whether an animal is creating a disruption or safety concern.

Community Organizations, Nonprofits & Fundraising

Kittery Community Market reserves space each week for one nonprofit or community organization, subject to approval and availability. Organizations must provide proof of general liability insurance and may not be politically affiliated.

​

Political groups, political causes, and political organizations are not permitted to set up within or immediately adjacent to the market area. Any group wishing to set up elsewhere on the property during market hours must first obtain permission from the property owners.

​

Fundraising organizations may only participate as pre-approved guests of the market. Groups without prior approval may not solicit customers within the market area. Any fundraising activity elsewhere on the property also requires property owner approval.
