Part of the community

The Market is more than just a place for fresh, healthy, local food. It’s an important part of the community in Belmont, Massachusetts.

Storytime and POP Club for kids, music, community information, and new & old friends all make it a wonderful way to spend a Thursday afternoon.

We’re right in Belmont Center, so be sure to visit all the great shops on Leonard Street after shopping at the Market.

“I like the town-square nature of it, knowing I will run into people I know, the happy atmosphere.”
