Nothing says summer quite like the sound of a community band drifting across the town square. Starting Monday, June 30, and continuing for six weeks, the Fairfield Community Band will fill Central Park with music, memory, and a touch of small-town magic.

Join us at the gazebo each Monday evening from 8 to 9 PM as local musicians share their time, talent, and love of music with the community. These are your neighbors, your teachers, your retirees—coming together to play everything from patriotic marches to toe-tapping swing tunes and sentimental classics.

Bring your lawn chairs, your kids, your grandma. Let the music take you back—or forward—or just help you breathe a little easier for an hour. Ice cream vendors will be on-site to keep it cool and sweet.

Whether you’re a longtime resident or just passing through, this is the kind of night that reminds you why places like Fairfield still matter. Come early, stay late, and soak in a sliver of Americana.

Our Market at a Glance

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.

The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.

We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.

Friendly  Local Merchants

All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.

Feel free to talk with them when you visit our market.

Join us in this happy event every week.
