The final market of the 2026 Hope Farmers' Market season on the Town Square is celebrating with a seasonal crescendo of all things Fall from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. 

Anticipate a howling good time this Harvest Market as there will be pooches galore sporting their best Halloween disguises for the market's first annual Dog Costume Contest from 1 to 3 p.m. (Doggo Parents... Make sure to stop by Miel on Wheels truck for a FREE Pup Cup treat for doggo.) 

Participating pups need to check in at the Information Booth, say market organizers. The winner will be announced at 3:30 p.m. There is no purchase necessary and you don't have to be present to win. Please Note: All dogs must be on a leash and well behaved around people and other dogs. 

Shoppers, come hungry! Miel on Wheels, Hope Pack 543, the Community Center of Hope and others will have their food trucks fully stocked with deliciousness and harvest season favorites. 

And, of course, the season wouldn't be complete without a few spooky finds along the way... Be sure to check out Boo's Bakes if you dare.

In addition to  dozens of vendors offering unique services, locally grown and raised produce, eggs and meats, and handmade goods, Ms. Faith is set to return for a pumpkin-themed storytime with the tale of "Squash & Pumpkin" beginning at 1:30 p.m. at the bandstand. 

This event is made possible with sponsorship by Miller Insurance Services, Heritage of Hope, and the Town of Hope.
