6th Borough Market Sunday 6/22/14

6thBorough_May2014PR_location 
The 6th Borough Market returns this summer Sunday, this time behind City Hall on Montgomery St. @ Marin Blvd.

The Market is a curated mix of artisan crafts and vintage goods for sale, and the experience is topped off with children’s activities and yummy eats. Artists, collectors and chefs gather to provide a fun experience for families on one given Sunday each month during the warm season. This Sunday, look for a very limited edition of urban cycling caps by Cecilia and Reuben.

(Upcoming dates: July 20, August 10, September 14, and October 19.) For those of you who missed the festivities last year, here are a few mentions from me.

 

Keep it local,

Celebrate the summer solstice with a concert by Con Vivo! On Saturday, June 21, the orchestra will be performing Karlheinz Stockhausen’s epic work Tierkreis, a 12 movement piece based on the Zodiac signs, starting with current sign Gemini and moving forward through the year. This loosely planned program is sure to delight in its uniqueness. Soak it all in on the waterfront at J. Owen Grundy Pier’s Outdoor bandshell by Exchange Place.

To a summer of song,
