🍂 September is that perfect in-between season—one foot still in summer and one eye on fall!

Stop into Anytime Apparel to start thinking about comfortable fall styles, accessories and those easy pieces you’ll reach for all season long.

And while you’re at it, pop into Underneath It All, where the Summer Sale is happening while supplies last! ☀️➡️🍁

A little end-of-summer bargain hunting + a little fall wardrobe refresh sounds like a pretty good reason to shop local.

🎶 What a summer in Depot Park!

With the 7th Annual Listen & Lunch series and the 14th Annual Friday Summertime Concerts now wrapped up, we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

A very special thank you to Pelagia Vincent for all she does to help bring these wonderful traditions to our community, along with the musicians, sponsors, local businesses and everyone who came out to listen, dance, picnic and enjoy summer in the park.

These gatherings are such a special part of summer in Peterborough, and we’re already looking forward to next year. ❤️
