Join us for the Opening Day of SOAM’s 9th season on Saturday, June 14th from 10 AM – 2 PM at Chick Marchand Memorial Park!   Discover a rotating mix of local makers, handcrafted foods, kids’ activities, and live music — all in a vibrant open-air setting. SOAM pops up monthly June–September, with a special finale in October. Come shop, play, and connect with your community! 

Get ready to laugh, cheer, and maybe even bark a little at the 4th annual Hounds of Highfield! This crowd-favorite event brings together over 300 people and 150 dogs for a day of pure, tail-wagging joy. One of the main attractions? Our delightful ly chaotic dog agility course—where some pups soar through tunnels and weave through poles like pros, while others take one look and decide belly flops and treat breaks are more their style. It’s all part of the fun, and we promise it’ll have you smiling from start to finish!
