Berwick Community Events Calendar: July Markets, Workshops, Block Parties
Berwick's July lineup features markets, workshops and block parties across multiple neighborhoods.
How we reported this
The Berwick Community Board posted its July events calendar on Monday with 52 listings running through the end of the month.
Residents have turned to these local listings as travel costs rise and international news dominates headlines, prompting more people to seek activities within walking distance of their homes.
Daytime Markets and Workshops
The calendar opens with the weekly farmers market at Commerce Street Plaza every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. A separate arts workshop series starts July 15 at the Berwick Cultural Center on Oak Avenue, where participants can register for sessions on pottery and printmaking for $12 each. Both spots sit inside the Old Town district, a short walk from the riverfront promenade.
Attendance at last summer's market days reached 4,800 visitors across four weekends, according to board records. Organizers expect similar numbers this month, with extra stalls added for local honey and baked goods vendors.
Evening Block Parties and Concerts
Evening options include a July 22 block party on Main Street between Third and Fifth avenues, complete with food trucks and live music starting at 6 p.m. A separate outdoor film night is set for July 28 at Riverside Park, where families can bring blankets and watch a screening of a 1980s comedy. Admission for both events is free.
Residents who want to attend can view the full schedule on the board's website or pick up a printed copy at the front desk of City Hall on Commerce Street. Advance registration is required only for the paid workshops at the cultural center.
