❤️ And that’s a wrap on our 2026 Farm & Craft Market season! ❤️

Today was a little bittersweet for me as it was my last market as the manager. I’ve been doing this since we started the market back in 2021, and it’s been such a fun, busy, sometimes crazy, but very rewarding part of my life.

Thank you so much to all of our vendors who have shown up and supported our market, and to everyone who came out today and throughout the season to shop, eat, visit and support local. We really do have an amazing community! ❤️

🌶️ And congratulations to Dan Pulsifer, our Chili Cook-Off winner! 🏆 Thank you to Andrea Jester, Jackie Gormley, and Ruth Martin for joining in and making our first chili cook-off so much fun!

A BIG thank you to all of our Waterville Main Street Association volunteers who help make these market days happen. I truly couldn’t have done it without you.

I’m excited to pass the reins over to Janis Moreno, who will be taking over as our new Market Manager. I know she’ll do a great job, and I hope everyone will give her the same support you’ve given me over the past six years.

Here’s to the Farm & Craft Market and many more seasons to come! 🍂🌾

Unfortunately, due to unhealthy air quality (AQI), we have made the difficult decision to cancel this Saturday's Waterville Main Street Association Farm & Craft Market.

The health and safety of our vendors, volunteers, performers, and community come first. We know many of you were looking forward to a fun day in Pioneer Park, and we're just as disappointed.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our local farmers, makers, and small businesses. We hope you'll join us for our final market of the season on Saturday, September 12th, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We can't wait to see everyone then for one more wonderful day of shopping, food, music, and community!

Stay safe, and we'll see you in September! ❤️
