Saturday's Festivities:

Join us behind the business block and on the lawn surrounding the Municipal Building (13 Valley St., Thomaston) from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm for a vibrant array of activities. Delight in the artisanal wonders of our Maker's Market, showcasing handcrafted goods, delectable treats, and unique creations from talented local makers.

The beats will be pumping with live music performances at 10:30 am, 12:00 pm, and 1:30 pm, ensuring a lively atmosphere for all. Kids will have a blast in our dedicated Kid's Zone, featuring a bounce house and children's entertainment.
