Milford debuts kids program at Farmers Market, followed by 23rd annual Pirate Day festival

This weekend, the Downtown Milford Business Association presents two high-impact
events in succession, designed to inspire families and strengthen local traditions.

On Saturday, June 7, the Downtown Milford Farmers Market kicks off its 19th season by
launching a new/bold program: The Piglet’s Club, a 20-week educational program for
kids in partnership with The Giggling Pig of Milford. This innovative initiative builds on
the market’s long-standing children’s market, making it officially CT’s only seasonal
farmers market centered on inspiring the youngest generations.

● Market Dates: Every Saturday, June 7–October 11 – Wasson Field, 108 W. Main St, Milford, CT 06460

● Launching New Program: The Piglet’s Club, kids will learn about composting, farm-to-table, recipes, eco-awareness, crop cycles, healthy plate building & more.

When you walk through our market, you’re stepping into a space built for every stage of life — where habits are formed young, support is lifelong, and community isn’t just visited, it’s lived.

*Sponsorship opportunities for the market are still open, offering businesses a chance to support a one-of-a-kind program with deep community roots.

Then on Sunday, June 8 (8AM–2PM), the town transforms for the 23rd Annual Pirates
Day, a high-energy, family-friendly festival featuring

• Captain Kidd’s Milford Harbor invasion, Rockin’ Ron the Friendly Pirate, Pirate games, music, costumes & more!
• Lisman Landing, Milford Green & Milford Historical Society

Pirates Day continues to draw hundreds of families each year and is a staple of the region’s summer kickoff.

These are more than just events—they’re experiences that bring families together and plant the roots of traditions future generations will treasure.
