More than 50 vendors have signed up for the 2022 market, which is the eighth year of its existence.

The Brick Senior Shuttle, which started in 2019, provides free transportation to the Senior Center, shopping areas and more to residents ages 60 and over. It includes two wheelchair-accessible buses, one that was purchased by the town, while the second was funded by a grant.
