Kids Day at the DFM!

Join us for our 1st Annual "Kids Day" at the Dedham Farmers Market on Wednesday, August 29th.
We'll have free activities and games, family-friendly entertainment and more for kids of all ages.

"Kidpreneurs" invited to participate! We are seeking creative, and talented young entrepreneurs who will have a chance to sell items at the market they have created. This is a great opportunity for kids to learn what it is like to own a business and be a vendor at the market for a day! There is no vendor fee for kidpreneurs. :)
We are also looking for kid musicians/singers to perform for up to 10 minutes each. Please send any inquiries to DFM Market Manager Jen MacKeen at jendfm@gmail.com.
