Bowden Park

The Melrose Farmers' Market is hosting another family-friendly beer garden on Thursday, October 1, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Bowden Park. In partnership with Hannah's Brewing Co., proceeds from the event support the Market’s SNAP Match program, which helps local residents using SNAP benefits purchase fresh, healthy food at the market. The Market’s July “Pints for Produce” beer garden raised $500 for the SNAP Match program, and proceeds from the Oktoberfest event will help continue that support for local food access.
Located in a designated area adjacent to the market, the beer garden will offer a community gathering space where visitors can enjoy locally crafted beer, listen to a live brass polka band, play lawn games, and pick up dinner from the Market’s prepared food vendors. Melrose’s The Kitchen will feature Oktoberfest treats such as pretzels and brats. The Market’s regular vendors will remain open until 6:30 p.m., with several prepared food vendors serving dinner through 7:30 p.m. Guests wishing to enjoy beer from Hannah’s Brewing Co. must be 21 or older and present a valid ID.
The Melrose Farmers' Market is held every Thursday from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Bowden Park and features more than 30 local farms, food producers, artisans, and community organizations, along with live music, children's activities, and educational programming throughout the season.
Community members of all ages are invited to enjoy the market, support local farms and small businesses, and experience the community gathering space while helping strengthen the Market's SNAP Match program.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
