Our annual Farmers' Market is now open! It operates every Sunday until October 26 from 8 a.m. to noon in the parking lot at Bowie High School. Visitors will find a broad selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, breads and baked goods, jams and jellies, cuts of beef and goat meat, ice cream, fresh cut flowers, and bedding plants. The participating vendors maintain a Facebook page where you can find the latest information about their offerings.

Each Sunday evening from Memorial Day weekend until Labor Day weekend, enjoy a concert at the Robert V. Setera Amphitheater at Allen Pond Park. *Concerts are canceled in the case of inclement weather. Because summer storms often pass through quickly, decisions about concert cancellations will not be made until right before the concert is scheduled to take place. Notices about cancellations will be posted on the home page of this website and on the City's Facebook page and Twitter feed.

City offices are closed for Memorial Day. There will be no trash or recycling pickup on the holiday. Collection will resume on the next regularly scheduled day.
