Hey everyone!

Important update on this week’s Out to Lunch date...

Due to the extreme heat forecast, the Out to Lunch Festival & Farmers’ Market will NOT take place on Wednesday, July 1.

The safety and well-being of our attendees, vendors, performers, volunteers, and staff always come first. While we know postponing this week’s event is disappointing, we want everyone to be able to enjoy Out to Lunch safely and comfortably.

We plan to use one of our scheduled makeup dates on Wednesday, September 2, and we’ll share more details about the entertainment, vendors, and activities for that date as we get closer.

The good news? We’ll be back next week! Join us on Wednesday, July 8, from 11 am to 3 pm on the Worcester Common Oval—and every Wednesday throughout the summer... now through September 2.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for another afternoon of live music, delicious food, fresh local produce, local artists and makers, community organizations, and all the great energy that makes Out to Lunch one of Downtown Worcester’s favorite summer traditions.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We’ll see you on July 8! 😎

You can always find all the info at outtolunchworcester.com.
