Celebrate Spring in Ellington: Two Great Events For Mothers' Day

Ellington is the place to be this Saturday, May 10, as two beloved community events bring the town to life with flowers, music, art, and more. The Ellington Farmers Market will host its annual Mother’s Day Market from 9 a.m. to noon at Market Park, 72 Maple Street, while the Ellington Women’s Club Fair on the Green will take place just steps away on the town green from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At the Mother’s Day Market, shoppers will find a vibrant selection of cut flowers, hanging baskets, and potted blooming plants, perfect for Mother’s Day gifts. Special guest vendors will be offering unique handcrafted items created just for the occasion. The market will also feature its usual variety of local farm produce, baked goods, meats, dairy, seafood and specialty foods, with the bonus of live music to create a festive springtime atmosphere. The market proudly accepts SNAP and offers matching benefits, helping to make fresh, local food accessible to all.

Just a short walk away, the Fair on the Green, hosted by the Ellington Women’s Club, will run until 2 p.m. and feature a wide array of arts and crafts vendors. It’s a perfect pairing for a day of community celebration, shopping, and supporting local makers and causes.

Whether you're shopping for a Mother's Day gift, stocking up on fresh food, or browsing handmade art, Ellington’s Saturday events offer something for everyone.
