Let the Kids Get Muddy on August 9th & 23rd
This is a perennial favorite at Market. Bring the kids on August 9h for a hands on session at the potter’s wheel with local artist and teacher Russell Kahn. It’s always a fun opportunity for your kids to get their hands dirty in the name of art.
Waterfall Arts & Belfast Art Market
We’re grateful to the folks at Waterfall Arts for providing our summer home on their property at 256 High Street in Belfast, Maine. Waterfall Arts opens at 10 am and features working studios as well as regularly changing gallery exhibits, classes and special events. Their calendar of events and classes is here, and their exhibition schedule here.
During the summer months members of the Belfast Area Creative Coalition offer locally made arts and crafts for sale in the yard at Waterfall Arts. Art Market runs from 9 am to 1 pm concurrently with the Belfast Farmers’ Market.

MAINE HARVEST BUCKS – Double your healthy food dollars!
Participants in this program earn a one-dollar Harvest Buck voucher for each dollar they spend at market on purchases if qualified healthy food using SNAP benfits. Vouchers may be redeemed toward purchase of vegetables and fruits at the market any time throughout the year.
We are part of the Maine Harvest Bucks nutrition incentive program, which rewards participants for choosing to shop locally and extends federal nutrition supplement funds by encouraging purchase and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. The program is managed by volunteers and receives funding from philanthropies. 2019 Maine Harvest Bucks run through March 2020. More information can be found at maineharvestbucks.org. Maine Federation of Farmers’ Markets, mainefarmersmarkets.org, has information on using EBT/SNAP at farmers’ markets statewide.
