Building Community, One Market at a Time

The Midd Summer Story

Midd Summer Markets is a community-driven summer-series of farmers + artisan markets dedicated to celebrating the vibrant spirit of Middlebury. Our mission is to foster local connections, support small businesses, and create a welcoming space where neighbors and community members can gather to enjoy the very best of Vermont's growers and makers.

✔️

Community First: We prioritize local Addison County growers and creators to keep our community strong.

✔️

Sustainable Growth: Supporting the next generation of youth entrepreneurs and small businesses.

✔️

Authentic Vermont: Celebrating the local harvest and artisanal crafts that reflect our unique home.

Rooted in Community

The Midd Summer Markets becomes a living expression of Middlebury’s spirit: welcoming, creative, collaborative, and deeply connected to the land and the people who call this place home, and nurturing a vibrant downtown where creativity and connection can flourish all season long.

 

At the heart of downtown Middlebury, the Midd Summer Markets grow from a simple belief that community thrives when people gather, create, and support one another. Set in the welcoming green of Triangle Park, the market is more than a place to shop — it’s a weekly ritual that strengthens the connections between neighbors, local growers, youth entrepreneurs, small businesses, and local nonprofits that shape our community throughout Addison County.

 

Guided by the mission of Middlebury Ryzes, the nonprofit now leading the market, we’re committed to building spaces of community and connection. Each market day reflects that mission — uplifting local makers, celebrating Vermont’s harvest, and creating opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with the farmers and artisans behind the products they love.
