The Bloomfield Friday Farmer’s Market will feature “Small Business Night” and “Vintage Pop-Up Night” on Friday, September 9 from 4-7 pm. For a $5 fee, small businesses and vintage/collectable sellers are invited to set up a tent/table and advertise their business or sell their wares! The purpose of Small Business Night is to inform the public about the goods and services provided by small businesses in our own community, and to encourage residents to “buy local”. The Bloomfield market is held each Friday and is located on the corner of Spring and Franklin streets. Small Business displays will be set up in the grassy lot across Franklin Street from Bloomfield Manufacturing. Businesses can pay their fee to the market manager that evening. If there are questions, please contact the committee via our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Bloomfield.community.farmers.market/

This new series was developed to introduce lovers of nature and music to the harmony of human-made music in natural settings. Immerse yourself in this unique listening experience that pairs acoustic music with songs of the wild.
Each program begins with an introduction to the park’s current music makers, followed by an hour-long concert. After the concert, a guided nature walk will encourage active listening and creating connections between our own music and that of nature.
Admission to all Nature Sounds concerts and programs is free.
