One Last Hurrah Before the Bell!

Summer doesn't have to end quietly. The Ross Bridge Back 2 School Bash returns to the Ross Bridge Farmers Market on Friday, July 31, inviting families to squeeze in one more evening of food, fun, and community before the school routine takes over.

School Supplies Meet Sweet Treats

From 4 to 8 p.m., the market transforms into a lively neighborhood gathering filled with local vendors, live entertainment, and activities for all ages. Shoppers can browse booths from Hamm Farms, C&J Farms, and other small businesses offering everything from fresh produce and homemade treats to handcrafted goods and back-to-school finds. It's an easy way to support local businesses while crossing a few items off your shopping list.

When it's time for dinner or dessert, the food truck lineup has it covered. Pudding Amore, Wasabi Juan's, Dixie Dogs, The Bubbly Bean, Kona Ice, and additional vendors will be serving plenty of options, so there's no need to rush home to cook. Grab a bite, find a shady spot, and enjoy an evening that feels more like a neighborhood party than a typical farmers market.

Face Paint, Food Trucks, and Fun

The fun stretches well beyond the vendor booths. Live music keeps the energy going throughout the evening, while free face painting, a bounce house, and a caricature artist give kids plenty to enjoy as parents browse the market or catch up with friends.

The Back 2 School Bash has become a fitting finale for the Ross Bridge Farmers Market season by bringing together the things people love most about summer: good food, local shopping, familiar faces, and time spent outdoors. Before backpacks replace beach towels and calendars start filling up again, this is one last chance to celebrate the season with the community.
