MUSICAL GUEST: North – Whobilados
Whobilados play a mix of lively traditional tunes and originals blending multi-part vocals, with varied instruments, for their highly listenable music. Be entertained while you shop or take a break to sit and listen.
MUSICAL GUEST: South – Thistle Sisters
We love having the talented folk trio of Julia, Taz, and Allison (aka Thistle Sisters) at the Market whenever we can. Great music from three very entertaining entrepreneurs. Come listen while you browse the market and linger over breakfast!
Our musicians volunteer to perform at the Market, so tips are much appreciated!
