Downtown Somerville Gears Up for First‑Ever Music Fest: Vendor Applications Now Open

Downtown Somerville is turning up the volume this fall. The Downtown Somerville Alliance has officially opened vendor applications for its inaugural Music Fest, happening Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 12 PM to 6 PM right in the heart of the downtown district.

This event is designed to celebrate creativity, community, and the power of music — and organizers are looking for vendors who can bring that energy to life. The Alliance is seeking music‑themed makers, artists, educators, and interactive experiences that fit the spirit of the festival, including:

• Tie‑dye creators
• Spin art and sand art activities
• Music‑themed merchandise and handmade goods
• Interactive or hands‑on creative vendors
• Local crafters and artisans
• Music education groups
• Community and nonprofit organizations with a music, arts, or youth focus

With two stages of live entertainment, a beer garden, food vendors, family activities, and thousands of visitors expected throughout the day, Music Fest is shaping up to be one of Downtown Somerville’s biggest events of the year.

If you’re a creative, maker, or organization with a passion for music and community, this is your chance to be part of a brand‑new tradition in Somerset County.
