Special events
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!
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. It also includes 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 5 Opening Day, featuring our 4th 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 12 Sustainability Day. Curious about composting? Questions about recycling? Not sure what to do with old electronics/cords? It’s your lucky day! We’re dedicating our community tents to climate and sustainability.
Stop by to learn about sustainability with local organizations, including a free Electronic Waste Recycling Pop-Up, Belmont’s Recycling Coordinator Joseph Sten, Belmont High School groups, Belmont Energy Committee, and more.
The Market is open from 2-6:30. Information tables are open all afternoon, but electronics recycling is available from 3:30-6:30 (please do not bring items earlier). See our website, social media, and newsletter that week for details about what's accepted. Or call Techcycle Solutions at 860.336.1042.
