Pop-Up Mixer / Market

Summer Wednesdays at the Bethel Bandshell, 6:30 PM - 8:30ish
with the Bethel Council on the Arts summer concert series

The Bethel Farmers’ Market is taking the year off, so we’re popping up this free, flexible weekly community event instead! Read below for more info and how to get involved or participate.

We pop up the tents, tables, lawn games, and chairs. You pop up market booths, activities, info stations, social time, potluck treats, and more.

We’re experimenting with this free, fun weekly event to help build community, offer people an easy way to sell or share things they grow or make, let people have fun and connect.

Want to mix and mingle?

Great! Come to the concert (or a little early) to connect with other community members, check out booths, bring a picnic dinner, play lawn games, have fun. All are welcome.

Want to have a booth or reserve a space?

We welcome anyone who wants to sell or give things away, have an info booth, do an activity, or something else. You can set up once or all summer!

  • Reserve a table/tent if you need it. We have limited equipment each week (four pop-up tents and 6 ft tables; plenty of small cafe tables and chairs; and the trailer with a service window). If you need to use any of these, please sign up early.

  • Got your own setup? RSVP and/or just come if you like! If you have your own table or tent, or don’t need one, just come! RSVP in the Sign Up Doc to let us know if you can, but not necessary.

 

Weekly Sign Up

Use this Google Doc to sign up for equipment or a pop-up space. We no longer have a summer intern available to coordinate, so it is first come/first served for signups!
