LYNNFIELD — Food, fashion, art, and outdoor shopping will all be available in the same place for MarketStreet Lynnfield’s upcoming Shop to Table event.
The open-air event will be Saturday, Aug. 8, from noon to 3 p.m. on the sidewalks of Market Street.
According to MarketStreet Lynnfield spokesman Chris Langley, in addition to being a shopping festival with exclusive discounts from participating shops such as Altar’d State, Carhartt, Lush Cosmetics, Casper, Kendra Scott, The Paper Store, and Williams-Sonoma, the event will have picnic-style dining and an art show.
“As guests shop, they can also stop by a public art show produced onsite by the Lynnfield Art Guild, or enjoy a cool popsicle from the Boys & Girls Club of Wakefield and Stoneham,” Langley said. “There will also be a balloon garden to pick from, chalk buckets for free-form artists to draw with, and space on MarketStreet’s ever-popular green to enjoy a picnic lunch from the lifestyle center’s diverse collection of dining options.”
Outdoor and indoor dining will be available at select restaurants, Langley said. The event is free and open to the public.
Social distancing measures will be in place via signage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Langley said, with visitors and employees reminded to remain six feet apart.
“MarketStreet Lynnfield has adjusted communal spaces and furniture configuration throughout the property,” Langley said. “In addition, guests and staff are required to wear face coverings while in stores and salons, as well as when checking into restaurants, prior to being seated, as recommended by the (U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) and in keeping with local government guidance.”
People in need of face coverings for the event will be offered complimentary masks upon request from MarketStreet Lynnfield security staff, Langley said.
