ARTISAN NIGHT MARKET BRINGS COMMUNITY TOGETHER AT AGE WELL CENTER The Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth was buzzing with creativity, community, and connection this summer as the City of Fremont hosted its first Artisan Night Market on July 31. The evening was a tremendous success, bringing together residents, families, local artisans, makers, and friends for a festive night of shopping, food, music, and fun. The event demonstrated the community spirit that makes Fremont such a special place to live, work, and age. Most importantly, proceeds from the market help support programs, activities, and services at the Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth, helping ensure the Center remains a vibrant and welcoming place for adults 55+. And the fun isn’t over! The Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth’s Artisan Night Market returns this November for another opportunity to shop local, discover unique handmade treasures, and get a head start on holiday shopping. Local artisans, makers, and crafters will showcase their unique creations, offering everything from handmade jewelry and artwork to specialty treats, home décor, and one-of-a-kind gifts.

SAVE THE DATE

Mark your calendar and bring a friend! The Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth looks forward to welcoming the community back to its Artisan Night Market for another wonderful celebration of local creativity, connection, and community.
