More Than a Market: A Mission-Driven Event
This event is organized by the Fire For Effect Foundation Inc., a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans, first responders, and their families. By attending, shopping, or becoming a vendor, participants are directly contributing to programs that foster resilience, restore hope, and strengthen the fabric of the community.
Reflecting on last year’s event and the momentum heading into 2026, Fire For Effect Foundation President Al Lacerda shared:
“After last year’s success, we are deeply encouraged. We want people to come to Bridgewater. We want good positive vibes, and we want to see your businesses and families. Bridgewater is more than just a place you drive through on your way to a destination.”
That spirit—of turning a pass-through town into a true destination for connection, commerce, and community—is at the heart of this year’s market series.
What to Expect at the 2026 Market & Craft Fair
Visitors can look forward to:
Local Produce & Food: Fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, and a variety of prepared foods and treats from regional farmers and food makers.
Unique Crafts & Artisan Goods: Handcrafted items, art, jewelry, home décor, and other one-of-a-kind pieces from local makers and small businesses.
Family-Friendly Atmosphere: A relaxed, welcoming environment ideal for families, neighbors, and visitors to gather, explore, and enjoy a few hours outdoors.
Community Impact: Every visit helps sustain local vendors and supports Fire For Effect Foundation’s mission to honor and empower veterans and first responders.
