Were you able to attend Downtown Essex Day last Saturday, August 1st? I thoroughly enjoyed walking around town and exploring the hundreds of items on display at vendor tables from the typical yard sale items to intricate jewelry creations, other crafts and hand-made items, art pieces, farm goods, and more! Many local businesses and organizations were represented with tables along the streets or behind Town Hall, and of course storefronts were open to customers as well — with some taking the opportunity to sell food or items to benefit very good causes!
If you missed it (or have never been to this event) take a look at the collection of photos below that I took while wandering around town on that beautiful day. The images capture just a glimpse of this wonderful event.
I hope you enjoy my photo tour of Essex Day!

April 6, 2016 at 1:35 pmHi Jo. Yes, you do need to sign up and register to be a vendor for Downtown Essex Day. You can contact Essex Initiatives at essexinitiatives [@] gmail.com. Someone in that organization is always in charge of Essex Day.
