Market Days and Bluemont Concerts - family fun in Colonial Beach!Beginning at 9:00am on the 4th Saturday of the month from May through September, Market Days are held in the Town Commons area, also known as “Town Hill” in Colonial Beach. This event includes booths from local service organizations and merchants selling items including food, home décor, toys, clothing, jewelry and novelty items. Bluemont Concerts are presented on each Market Day at 11am from the nearby town stage. Admission for both events is free.
Roughly 50 vendors set up tents to sell their wares, everything from jewelry, acrylic paintings, handbags and ornaments, hand-made embroidered quilts, etc. Bring your holiday shopping list, there's something for everyone! You may even be able to press the flesh with a local politician seeking voter support. Families, neighbors and visitors gather near the Town Stage for the outdoor Bluemont concerts. Audiences enjoy world-class jazz, bluegrass, Celtic music, rock, rhythm and blues, zydeco, African dance, folk music and more. Many people bring picnics to enjoy during the show. People of all ages are welcome. Bluemont concerts begin at 11am rain or shine, are smoke-free and alcohol is prohibited.
