Join us for a beloved, family friendly gathering—our seasonal Folk Market. A celebration of community, craft, and the old ways. This festive market brings local makers beneath one roof to share the foods, creations, and traditions that root us to place. Craft your own midsummer flower crown, get an heirloom quality tintype portrait made by Alchemy Tintype Studio (more info on this process by clicking here), dance to live local stringband Forty Drop Few, dye your own silk scarf with mushrooms, enjoy an elderflower soda, tea service, baked goods from historical recipes, and other treats while you shop from over 40 local vendors.

Folk is for you, folk is for us and when you support local makers you support living traditions, resilient local economies, and a future built on reciprocity.
