Artisans at the Harbor, ArtsFalmouth’s weekly summer art market opens Thursday, June 25, offering works by local artisans and live music performances. The market takes place every Thursday from 11 AM to 4 PM, June 25 to August 27, at Falmouth Marine Park, 180 Scranton Avenue, in Falmouth. In case of rain on Thursday, the market will be held on Friday, weather permitting.

“I am very excited about the variety of artisans and musicians joining us for the 2026 season,” said Diane Precourt, coordinator of the market and ArtsFalmouth board member.

“This year, fifty-four vendors will be setting up to sell their handmade wares,” she said. “Some will be with us for the full ten weeks, while others will join us occasionally. We have an amazing committee that works behind the scenes to bring all the pieces of this market together.

 “We are pleased that many of our popular artisan ‘regulars,’ will be back this summer, and we are delighted to welcome many talented creators who are joining us this year,” Ms. Precourt said. “We will not be accepting any new vendor applications this season.”

Artisans at the Harbor features a wide array of handmade works by local artisans and craftspeople, including meditation cushions and eye pillows, wellness products; sea glass, shell, polymer clay, silver, and beaded jewelry; pottery and glass items; watercolor, oil, pen-and-ink, and acrylic paintings, prints, and cards; photography;  mosaics, vases, planters, and  baskets, candles, and other home décor items; paper crafts; fish art on t-shirts, decoupage, and canvas; and new, dyed, and recycled clothing and accessories.

Local musicians will perform from 1:30 to 3:30  PM at Artisans at the Harbor. Kim Moberg and Heather Swanson will perform on opening day, June 25.

Award winning singer/songwriter/guitarist Kim Moberg was born in Juneau, Alaska, the daughter of a mother of Alaskan Native Tlingit descent and a US Coast Guard veteran father from Kansas. Kim’s rich vocals have been described as “a blend of honey and whiskey,”

Her third album “The Seven Fires Prophecy: Suite for Humanity” (2023) is an eight-song original suite that ties the ancient Anishinaabe prophecy to our current social environment. The project blossomed from Kim’s desire to share what she learned about Indigenous teachings and the important and relevant life lessons they offer. 

Kim’s fourth release “All That Really Matters” (2026) feature songs that span the arc of human experiences loss, betrayal, melancholy, friendship, racism, and love.

She is joined by Heather Swanson, a classical violinist who crossed over to folk and traditional Celtic music. Her CD, “Beside Quiet Waters,” is a collection of traditional and contemporary Celtic tunes. Kim and Heather have been performing their original music and covers together for nearly ten years.

“We are excited to be able to continue the art market’s 19-year tradition of providing artisans with a low-cost venue, musicians with space to perform, and the community with an enjoyable afternoon by the Harbor,” said Marilyn Rowland, president of ArtsFalmouth and music coordinator for Artisans at the Harbor.

“It’s always fun for us, the vendors, to enjoy an afternoon by Falmouth Harbor,  meeting new people, and enjoying the rich array of talent the Falmouth and Cape Cod community has to offer,” she said, “and I know that Falmouth residents and visitors enjoy it too.”

“We look forward to a great summer by the harbor and encourage area residents and visitors to come down and enjoy local creative arts and music,” Ms. Precourt and Ms. Rowland agreed.
