Middletown House Concert Series

Andrew VanNorstrand is a musician, singer, and songwriter based in Springfield, Vermont. He has performed on festival stages, concert halls, dance floors, and living rooms all over North America and beyond. With his brother Noah VanNorstrand, Andrew has and recorded with the popular dance band Great Bear and is now often on the road with progressive folk/roots quartet The Faux Paws. From the Rust Belt to the Blue Ridge, cold spring in New England to a summer’s night in Charlottesville, his original songs seek out beauty in the search and struggle for understanding. Andrew blends traditional folk, old-time, country, and Western swing with a deep appreciation of indie-roots-Americana and artists like Jeff Tweedy, Richard Thompson, Gillian Welch, Sufjan Stevens, and Townes Van Zandt. Rachel Bell is sought after for concerts, contra dances, French BalFolk dances, English country dances, workshops, and festivals. Her playing spans an enormous range of emotion, from nuanced and sensitive to exhilarating and powerful, pushing the boundaries of what is expected from an accordion. Rachel’s work is infused with a contagious enthusiasm for her instrument and a deep respect for the musical traditions she carries. She loves to create authentic connections with audiences everywhere—from packed, energized dance halls to small, intimate house concert settings. She is passionate about sharing with others the delight she finds in this music.$25 suggested donation

Mill Street Marketplace

Haunt &amp; Gather is back for year two!!
This is the one that leans fully into the season 😏 darker, a little witchy, and filled with pieces that feel right at home in October! You’ll find a mix of oddities, vintage, handmade work, and artists bringing work that really screams Halloween! 🎃🥹
As always, everything is curated with intention - no AI, no reseller junk, no mass produced crap. Just real work from small businesses and artists who care about what they’re creating.
There will be tattooing during the event by Yellow Pants Tattoo with flash available, plus the Taste Garden Cafe food truck and Caffeine Coven serving only the best drinks (yes, even the ones with the tiny marshmallow ghosts 👻).
The market takes place at Mill Street Marketplace, which has 80+ permanent indoor vendors, so there’s plenty to check out throughout the space while you’re there.
Also, Wethersfield in October just has a really specific feel to it. Main Street is filled with handmade scarecrows all month, and the whole town turns into a walkable fall backdrop with historic buildings, shops, and seasonal decor everywhere you look!
Feel free to come in costume &amp; bring your Halloween spirit!! 🎃
