Get your June fill of food and music right here in our beautiful community. To start, you can’t go wrong by visiting the Alpharetta Farmer’s Market voted “Best Saturday Morning Excursion” for the past five years. The market is now located at North and South Broad Streets in Downtown Alpharetta in front of City Center alongside the Town Green with free parking in the nearby parking decks. Each Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. you’ll find a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in season, edible foods including breads and sweet treats, flowers and herbs, local raw honey, homemade sauces and even soaps. You can also appreciate live music while browsing. This June, the market’s musical performers include Accustical Left, Fiddles of November, Bitsyland, and Old School. Music fans of Florence and the Machine can attend their upcoming concert at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre at Encore Park in Alpharetta, GA, this Thursday. Or for free concert options, our team at Belmont at Park Bridge recommends the Brooke Street Park Summer Concert Series Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. through September. Bring a blanket and a picnic, and enjoy live, family-friendly performances by different Alpharetta-based entertainment groups. June’s lineup includes: June 8, Home By Dark featuring Rebecca Correia and Emily Shackleton; and June 22, featuring Kyshona Armstrong and Jenn Bostic. On June 15, at 5 p.m., the series will host Alpharetta POPfest, an annual event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer’s Disease. This year’s affair will feature performances by Myfever, Beach Revival, Sailing to Denver, and Jive Revival.
