Entertainment is an important part of the spirit and livelihood of the Westford Farmers Market. Every week we feature live music played on the bandstand. These are local musicians volunteering their talents to provide this nice background for the outdoor events on the Westford Common. The music extends over a broad variety, including classical music, folk songs, traditional jazz, and the American Songbook.

In some cases the musicians are students of local music schools. All musicians, whether professional, amateur, or students are invited to participate 
in future Tuesdays, provided they contact us beforehand to arrange for a time period. Just call 978-692-3907 (ask for Bill Harman) or click here to complete our online interest form.
