4. Midtown Farmers' Market
If you want to know where your food comes from and how it’s produced, what’s better than buying it directly from the farmer who grows and raises it? That’s the idea behind the Midtown Farmers’ Market, now in its eighth year at North Hills. As a “growers only” market, our more than 45 local vendors only sell items that they have produced. They’re more than happy to answer all your questions about the produce, meats, seafood, cheeses and baked goods featured at the market every week. This neighborhood gathering spot truly does let you connect to your food and your community in every possible way. Saturdays, 8:00 a.m. – noon in the Commons. April – November.

Held monthly on Sunday afternoons, from April through October, this six concert series is popular with music lovers of all ages and a variety of backgrounds. So bring your blanket, lawn chair and cooler down to Midtown Park and settle in for an afternoon of some of the best bluegrass, southern BBQ and craft beer around.

The North Hills Kids Events offer it all — exercise, activities, entertainment and play. These events will give both you and your child something to look forward to on a regular basis, and best of all, they’re FREE! If your little ones need a way to get their energy out between April and August, bring them to the Open Play area at North Hills Commons where they can tumble and play with soft foam equipment to their heart’s content — all in a safe outdoor environment. Weekly programs at Midtown Park also spotlight local children’s attractions, classes and kid-friendly talent. And if that’s not enough, be sure and check our calendar because North Hills Kids Events are often incorporated into other North Hills happenings throughout the year. When you want to provide a convenient, fun and no-cost experience for your child, we’re here for you.
