🌿✨ Second Sunday Market Series 2026 ✨🌿
Every 2nd Sunday April–September • 11AM–5PM
Welcome to Second Sundays @ the MOAM—Middletown’s monthly open-air gathering where local makers, growers, bakers, artists, and neighbors come together to celebrate the season, support small businesses, and enjoy a day outdoors. This year, each month will bring a fresh theme, new experiences, and familiar vendor faces—so no two markets are ever the same, and companies you have grown to love like Brenda Lou's Bakery, The 4th Avenue Farmhouse, J&J Apiaries, Buffalo Native, & others will be there to welcome you back month after month with so much to offer. You can also expect some food trucks and family-friendly activities.
From early spring wellness to fall harvest traditions, this year we hope to create a market meant to be wandered, tasted, experienced, and returned to.
🌱 April 12 – Fresh Start Market
Kick off the season with renewal and new growth. Explore herbalists, early greens and plant starts, wellness makers, soaps, and healthy treats. This market debut hopes to help you start the season feeling grounded and inspired.
🎨 May 10 – Makers in May
A celebration of creativity and handmade talent. Meet artisans, painters, woodworkers, and DIY makers. Watch live crafting and woodcarving, and jump into our make-your-own station and create something uniquely yours. We also celebrate mothers this market, and what a great way to spend the afternoon with mom!
🥧 June 14 – The Great Local Bake-Off
Sweet, savory, and competitive! This market is sure to be a crowd-favorite featuring cottage bakers, farm-fresh ingredients, baking-themed goods, and recipe inspiration. Taste, vote, and cheer as local bakers compete for bragging rights and ribbon awards.
☀️ July 12 – Summer Fair
Peak summer vibes take over this month's market with bright colors, summer fare, melon, and music. It's fair-style fun. Expect carnival-like games for prizes and vendor discounts, classic fair foods, and entertainment for all ages.
🔥 August 9 – All Fired Up!
Things heat up with a celebration of all things made with fire. Think pottery, glass, BBQ sauces, hot honeys, and grilled favorites. Come for some of the Best BBQ around, sample hot sauces and honeys, and soak in the summer heat while shopping a variety of vendors.
🌾 September 13 – Harvest & Heritage
Close out the season with a heartfelt nod to local history, culture, and harvest traditions. Discover heirloom vegetables, heritage crafts, historical organizations, a seed swap, and some old-fashioned games. At this month's market, we hope you leave feeling a bit more connected to a simpler life.
