Market & Music may be over for the year, but the memories will carry us until next summer!

We wanted to say THANK YOU one more time! The Northfield community showed up and made this summer of Market & Music so special!

While we had our fair share of rainy Wednesdays, when the sun was shining, our community showed up. We’re so grateful to everyone who came out, supported our vendors, danced to the music, and made memories with us throughout the summer.

We can’t wait to do it all again next year! Here’s to more music, more memories, and lots of sunny days next summer!
