Art Market: 11am-5pm

Wildflower Festival started when a group of friends wanted to make a difference in our community with a cause. The photos say it all. We have a blast and raise money for a great cause.
You’ll need a ticket to attend the art market and concert this year. Don’t worry — this is just to help us get a better idea of how many people are coming and to plan better for next year’s festivities!
Tickets are offered on a sliding scale. The suggested donation is $10 per ticket. If you can give more — amazing! If times are tough, we completely understand and want to keep art accessible to everyone.

2nd Annual Nostalgic Bookfair
See more: https://purplecouchbookshop.com/event/2nd-annual-nostalgic-book-fair/
Who didn’t love the school book fair when we were kids? This time, it’s books, beer and dogs. Who could ask for anything more? When Beth Cairns (@bethonthebookshelf) organized this last year, we had such a blast!
The event will take place at Spyglass Brewing (@spyglassbrewing) in Nashua, NH.
There will be multiple bookstores represented, each with one or two different genres. (We got Romance, which fits us perfectly!)
A raffle supporting Old Dogs Go to Helen, a sanctuary for senior and hospice dogs. Gift baskets including books, store gift cards, and bookish merchandise from each participating store will be raffled off and proceeds will be donated.
Victoria Lavine, author of Any Trope But You, will be returning this year with her new release Not That Kind of Proposal. If you miss her appearance at the shop, please come meet her at this event.
As you can imagine, this will be slightly different venue than an elementary school bookstore. Have a beer, browse some books and bookish stuff, and support a very worthy cause.
Old Dogs Go To Helen is not a facility or a shelter. It is a sanctuary for senior and hospice dogs and a hub for people who love old dogs and want to rescue, adopt, or donate to help them. “We connect people to older dogs available for adoption and those that are in need of further testing, special food, and/or costly medical care. We work with shelters and rescues to help these dogs get what they need without the shelter or rescue having to drain their own resources. We aim to spread awareness of the joys of senior dog adoption to help people see how bringing an old dog into your home is simply one of the best things you can do for our pups and for your soul.”

The 2026 Exeter UFO Festival
All profits from the Exeter UFO Festival will benefit deserving children and families served by Seacoast charities and organizations.
As always, the Exeter UFO Festival coincides with Labor Day weekend and the anniversary of the famous "Incident at Exeter."
On September 3rd, 1965, 18-year-old Norman Muscarello reported to the Exeter Police his sighting of an unidentified flying object behind a barn in Kensington. As the Exeter police investigated the site, they too witnessed the object hovering where Muscarello had seen it. Headlines across the nation covered the story, and the rest became history as police and investigators nationwide sought to determine what young Muscarello observed that night.
The Exeter Area Kiwanis Club annually sponsors a celebration of this event: The Exeter UFO Festival. Events, activities, and our speaker venue are centered in downtown Exeter NH.
The Exeter Kiwanis Club, producers of the annual Exeter UFO Festival, are planning a range of fun and exciting activities: a full slate of well-known speakers, children's events (free), merchandise, trolley rides, music in the park, a jazz concert, and much more!
Local merchants and restaurants throughout Exeter will also join in on the fun.

Reflections 180 Years of Manchester NH Opening Reception
See more + RSVP for free: https://mosaicartcollective.com/event/off-the-wall-the-art-of-fashion-copy-opening-reception
Manchester has spent 180 years becoming itself. From the mills along the Merrimack to the neighborhoods, industries, and people who have reshaped the city again and again, its history is not one fixed moment but like the river a continuous act of change. To reflect on a place is to look closely at what came before, recognize what remains, and notice what is still unfolding.
Mosaic Art Collective is seeking submissions that explore Manchester's history, identity, and evolution over the past 180 years, including the city as it exists today. Works that reference the city's industrial past, its people, its neighborhoods, or its present moment and ongoing transformation are welcome for this juried open call. Work can be documentary or interpretive, as long as it speaks to the theme of reflection on Manchester's history and present.
All media are welcome, excluding reproductions and AI generated work.
Full Circle - New Beginnings Opening Reception
See more + RSVP for free: https://mosaicartcollective.com/event/reflections-180-years-of-manchester-nh-copy-opening-reception
As we continue to celebrate in our new street level gallery, on our 4th anniversary as a collective, we are reflecting on the last year and everything that brought us here. Every ending carries the seed of what comes next. This exhibition invites artists to explore the cycles that shape our lives: the seasons we move through, the relationships that anchor us, the personal transformations that bring us back to ourselves in new form. Whether it's a return to an old practice, a fresh start after loss, or the quiet repetition of daily rituals, we want to see how you interpret what it means to come full circle.
We welcome work in all media that speaks to renewal, growth, connection, and the ongoing nature of change. Excluding reproductions and AI generated work.

NH NEXUS SUMMIT
nex·us: connection, link // center, focus
Tap into what’s next for New Hampshire: save your spot here.
Stay Work Play’s NH Nexus Summit, presented by Northeast Delta Dental and in partnership with Couch Family Foundation, brings together young people and leaders from across New Hampshire for a half-day experience that blends meaningful conversation, skill-building, and real connection around one of the most important issues facing our workforce in New Hampshire: early care and education.
what to expect:
A half-day summit convening young professionals, community leaders, employers, policymakers, and advocates to explore how early care and education (ECE) shapes New Hampshire's workforce, economy, and future.
Through personal stories, cross-sector conversations, and innovative solutions, attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the issues…and the confidence to help shape what's next.
The future of New Hampshire won't be shaped by one policy or one organization. It will be built through collaboration, by people willing to ask better questions, listen to different perspectives, and work across sectors to create solutions.
NH Nexus is designed to spark those conversations, strengthen those connections, and empower the next generation of leaders to help build what comes next.
You’ll start with a networking lunch designed to spark intentional conversations, followed by a dynamic summit experience featuring panels and breakout sessions across sectors shaping New Hampshire today — from early childhood education and workforce systems to innovation, community-building, and beyond.
We’ll wrap the day where great ideas continue: a rooftop social with the people you just met, and the ones you didn’t know you needed to.

Off the Wall - The Art of Fashion Opening Reception
See more + RSVP for free: https://mosaicartcollective.com/event/art-of-fashion-opening-reception
Fashion can define status, culture, and personality. What a person wears and how they wear it can reveal who they are, where they come from, and what they value. It is an essential part of human life and an industry. Fashion is also an avenue for art. Whether utilitarian or outlandish, it is an expression that is integrated with everyday life.
Mosaic Art Collective in partnership with Fishtoes Vintage + Treasures is seeking submissions that represent the union of art and fashion. Works that reference, incorporate, or are themselves fashion are welcome for this juried open call. Work can be innovative or interpretive, as long as it speaks to the theme of fashion. Looking for unique materials to jump start your piece? Check out Fishtoes boo boo bin to get inspired by patterns, colors and designs at a deep discount! All media are welcome, excluding reproductions and AI generated work.
Top of the Ferris Wheel 2026

Top Of the Ferris Wheel 2026 returns with our 5th annual high summer festival here at Mount Cabot Maple, hosted this year by our fresh-out-of-the-gate on-farm celebration venue, Mead Hill at Mount Cabot. This year’s absolute knockout highlight will be the Saturday night’s performance of SHE ATE, a drag show by Forrest Fleur and company from across New England.
Headlining our before-sunset sessions at Garden In The Sky (the stage) will be Middles, Stephanie Webb, returning six string titan Ezra Gildesgame, and more. To compensate our divine artists for their brilliance we are ticketing the event this year, and proceeds will be donated to support local queer & youth organizations in the north country.
Tickets are $20 available online, and $25 at the gate. These tickets accurately reflect the costs of this fabulous production, but our priority is bringing people together at Mount Cabot Maple and that cost should not be a barrier to anyone’s ability to attend; flexible pricing is also available at checkout to make sure you can get your ass out here, and supporting-donations made with Comrade tickets will help us make a genuinely-helpful sized donation to our local queer/youth organizing partners.
Weather happens, and this event is rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, the performances will be indoors. If severe weather impacts parking, the event will be moved to the nearest possible date and your ticket will be valid then.
No alcohol will be served at this event.
*Disclaimer: our goals for this event are to bring queer people in the community together, and we do not want to bar anyone who may benefit from accessing. If any parents are interested in bringing young queer folks along with them, they are welcome to do so at their own discretion; please note that the drag artists will not be censored or filtered in any manner, so do come expecting adult themes typical of a drag show, including but not limited to (partial) nudity, explicit language, or sexual themes.
As is tradition we'll have a potluck banquet in the greenhouse, with limited refrigeration available for those hauling in dishes from afar. Plan ahead and chef it up!
Orchard Camping can be reserved at checkout - just select Orchard Crew (Saturday Only) or Orchard Guardians to be part of our volunteer corps. Camping is tent or hammock with limited space (confirmation required) for car camping, trailers and rigs with no hookups.
Why's it called that?
“The first days of August hang at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless and hot.” -N.B.
