Celebrate Late Summer at the Sustainable Nantucket Farmers & Artisans Market
As we savor the final notes of summer, there’s no better way to celebrate September than at the Nantucket Farmers & Artisans Market. The market does run until October 11, weather permiting, so if you can’t attend this weekend, there are six more before the official last market until next year.
On Saturday, August 30, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, the market will be buzzing with fresh produce, handmade goods, local art, and community spirit. To mark the occasion, the Knights of Columbus will be joining the fun—grilling and frying up tasty treats like pupusas, burgers, and classic fair-style fried dough.
