Freshfields Village is welcoming the summer season with a full lineup of recurring events and community gatherings on the Village Green. From Memorial Day weekend through late summer, The Village will host a steady cadence of live music, farmers markets, family movie nights and more, offering visitors and locals multiple free ways to experience the season each week.
Building on longstanding traditions like Music on The Green and the Farmers Market, events are held on a consistent weekly basis, giving guests multiple ways to experience the Village — from Monday markets to Friday night concerts and midweek family programming.
“Summer at Freshfields Village has grown into something people plan around,” said Mary Katherine Phillips, Senior Director of Investments at EDENS. “Whether it’s live music on a Friday night, a morning at the farmers market or a movie under the stars, these events are designed to bring people together in a way that feels easy, familiar and welcoming.”
