We will be hosting our weekly Farmers Markets at the municipal parking lot at the corner of Broad Street and Maple Avenue. Farmers Market will open 3:00 – 6:30PM each Thursday starting June 24 through October 21. Mask wearing and social distancing guidelines will be followed.
We have also booked our weekly Summer Concerts on the Green, which will begin Thursday evenings from 6:30 – 8:30PM each week from July 8 through August 26. We are happy to have honored all the 2020 contracts with bands that were unfortunately cancelled last summer. We will be announcing the line-up within the coming months, stay tuned!
Get access to a day of professional development tailored to small business owners at the Main Street Now Conference on Tuesday, April 13. The Conference is offering a special education track with a variety of content to help entrepreneurs move forward in our changing commerce landscape— from live, interactive sessions with retail experts to virtual roundtables with fellow entrepreneurs.

• Trusted insight specific to small businesses, including retailers, restaurants, salons, and more
