2026 Midd Summer Markets 

This year, the Midd Summer Markets (MSM) are excited to announce a new collaborative partnership between Middlebury Ryzes and the Better Middlebury Partnership— two local nonprofits dedicated to strengthening community connections and supporting the vibrancy of Middlebury. Together, these organizations will help guide and elevate the MSM experience for vendors and visitors alike. Our Market Manager, Hannah Hoopaugh, will be leading all market operations and vendor coordination for the season, ensuring a smooth, organized, and community‑centered market experience.

We’re thrilled to share that Catie Raishart of Foxglove will be joining the Midd Summer Markets management team this season. As one of our longest‑standing MSM vendors, Catie has been part of the markets since the very beginning and brings a deep understanding of what makes this community so special. Her experience as a seasoned vendor, combined with her thoughtful insight and genuine passion for supporting local makers, makes her an invaluable addition to our leadership team. We are truly lucky to have Catie’s knowledge, creativity, and expertise helping guide the continued growth of our vendor community. Her perspective will play a meaningful role in shaping a market season that remains welcoming, organized, and rooted in the strong sense of connection that defines the MSM.

This season, the Midd Summer Markets will run on a consistent weekly schedule, taking place on Triangle Park every THURSDAY from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, June – August. [Note, that there will be no MSM market on 7/16, as that week is Festival on the Green.] In addition to our Thursday markets, we will also be hosting select Saturday market dates between May and September from 10AM – 2PM.
