("save" this post to return to it easily)

ADD EVENTS that you don't see here, this is by no means a complete list. I get my info from facebook events and instagram posts, and you.  I'm not affiliated with any of them.

"*****" means the info was added from reddit comments below, to keep a chronological list handy. Look WAY down to see the list of markets that already happened. I'll keep updating until the last one is held.

Please be aware that weather conditions may affect the status of anything listed.
