The Onancock Market provides a venue for local farmers, watermen and artisans to offer their fresh, seasonal, and locally grown and manufactured products and qualified art directly to residents and visitors in the community.

It is a vendor-produced only market, which means that vendors have made, grown or caught 100% of the products they offer for sale. Shoppers are buying directly from the source. 

Onancock Main Street (OMS) is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization that works to develop and sustain our historic downtown as a vital economic, cultural, recreational and residential center for our community.  OMS works in partnership with community and business stakeholders and the Town of Onancock to ensure our downtown not only grows, but thrives.

Through marketing initiatives, public space improvements, business engagement programs, historic preservation, and more, OMS contributes to the establishment of a strong and vibrant downtown district.

As a designated Virginia Main Street (VMS) program, OMS follows the Main Street Four Point Approach developed by the National Main Street Center.  Leadership of OMS is provided by a volunteer Board of Directors, committees, as well as a paid part-time program manager. Activities are focused in the areas of organization, economic restructuring, design, and promotion.

Our Vision:  Historic downtown Onancock is the commercial and cultural heart of a thriving waterfront community.
