Downtown Peterborough will transform into a pedestrian-only festival streetscape Friday, Aug. 7, as the town hosts its annual Night Market from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The free event features live music, local vendors, family activities, and regional food options across the historic downtown area. At the Peterborough Town Library, attendees can participate in a magnetic poetry wall, make commemorative buttons, and play lawn games near the Night Owl Bar and riverside deck. More than 10 outdoor food vendors and the Our Town Farmers’ Market will operate alongside local brick-and-mortar eateries. The event is sponsored by local organizations and businesses, including Bar Harbor Bank, Rivermead, Blue Finch Partners, Belletetes, and the Town of Peterborough.
