Special events in 2026
Every day at Belmont Farmers’ Market is special, but we have some extra-special events all season long. Put all of these dates in your calendar and sign up for our newsletter so you don’t miss anything!
Monthly POP Club Activity Days The last market of each month is a POP Club Activity Day. We have fun (and educational) activities for kids to learn about our local food system through the season.
Kids love the Move It! Hour with Eight Animal Martial Arts, where participation in a short physical activity shows the benefits of being active, and earns an extra POP Buck.
June 4 Opening Day, featuring our 5th annual Food Assistance Information Fair. Statewide and local organizations are on hand to provide information about food assistance benefits, and let the community know that food insecurity exists everywhere, including Belmont.
June 11 Sustainability Day. Curious about composting? Questions about recycling? Not sure what to do with old electronics & cords?
