Local Artists
Realist painter, Michelle Bailey, returns again this year with her original paintings, prints, and notecards; all inspired by the lovably and quirky small towns here in our local area.

Pete Pichaske is a semi-retired journalist with a longstanding interest in travel and landscape photography. He enjoys traveling to and shooting in far-flung locales, but also believes compelling photos can be found much closer to home.

Traditionally made in a wood burning forge, Munir Brown makes blades, knives, and swords, out of old tool steel and other reclaimed metals.

Featured Food Truck
County Manners food truck will be serving up Southern Maryland inspired fare prepared with some of the freshest, responsibly-sourced ingredients from the region. Chef Damian and Chef Jeremy are excited to share their style of hospitality with everyone through their love of food.

Signature Pop-Up Bar
Town Center Market is back again this year and is bringing a new and exciting selection of craft beers and wine to the ‘Lift each month.
