Artisan vendors, local farms and food trucks will fill Centre Square on Saturday for the annual Fall Festival Farmers Market.

Residents will have the opportunity to shop for fresh produce and baked goods for their Thanksgiving feasts while supporting local businesses. More than a dozen vendors are slated to attend the outdoor extravaganza, including Better Baking by Beth, Gresczyk Farms, Tonn’s Marketplace and Perkins Pure Sugar House. 

An array of savory cuisine and treats will be available to purchase from local favorites Kraftwich Food Truck, Dem Boyz Grill and Catering and more. For those who enjoy indulging in hot coffee on a chilly fall day, Café Real will be onsite. 

Local artisans will be in attendance selling an assortment of unique handmade items and seasonal gifts from crocheted accessories to soaps and candles. 

The Farmer’s Market is held every week from mid-June through mid-October, with an additional market held each year near Thanksgiving to provide holiday cheer. The outdoor shopping experience attracted thousands to downtown Bristol with many patrons attending every week. The vibrant atmosphere promotes community togetherness and support for local business and nonprofits.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

• Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
• Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
