The streets will be alive with live music, art, crafts, local shopping features, plant sales, pub and restaurant specials, cool kids’ activities, community groups and much more on Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Village Market Day in downtown Cumberland.
More than 70 vendors and exhibitors are scheduled to take part in what is shaping up to be the biggest Village Market Day ever.
Presented by the business community of legendary Cumberland in partnership with Elevate the Arts, Market Day features an eclectic variety of vendors offering hand made, home made, and fair trade goods and services.
From art, candles, books and toys to wood carvings, fairy costumes, clothing, leather wear, jewelry, face painting and more — Village Market Day is a great mash up of community and commerce.
Add to that delicious dining specials, locally brewed craft beer, yummy baking, gourmet deli sandwiches, fair trade coffee and chocolates, and hand crafted pizza, and you have a day filled with tasty treats to fuel the fun.
Local community organizations are taking to the streets. Support local festivals, conservation groups, schools, churches, museums and more by signing up as members or volunteers, buying raffle tickets or taking part in fundraising activities.
