The Washington Borough Farmers Market heats up in the Dog Days of Summer with a host of special activities in August.

In addition to lots of vendors offering fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, herbs and plenty of other goodies and products, visitors can enjoy tunes from This Old House, Kate & Paul and Dave “Doc” Watson, and a “Day at the Beach” with DJ Mitch Hess. 

Soft rock favorites Kate & Paul are scheduled for Aug. 7, This Old House on Aug. 21 and Dave “Doc” Watson, whose band often backs up Alicia Keys, Aug. 28 on the music side, with DJ Mitch on hand for “Beach Day” spinning songs that take you to the sea. Aug. 21 also marks Senior Appreciation Day.
All the action takes place at the Washington Borough Farmers Market in the Downtown Pocket Park.
