Today I attended "Play", this week's Mill No. 5 theme. Mill No. 5 is located at 250 Jackson st. in a beautiful old mill building in downtown Lowell. The theme refers to the multitude of child-related items for sale this week. Along with the usual suspects (the record store, fine leather goods, hand-crafted soaps and chocolates, etc.), the newcomers brought a sense of childlike wonder to the old, hippie-filled mill. From vintage toys, to bands playing children-themed music, it truly was a wonderful place to be on a Saturday afternoon.
The air was abuzz with chatter about community. I must have heard the word about 5 times during my walk around the marketplace. It is a great place to feel part of the community while simultaneously supporting and contributing to it. These local artisans are contributing to the growing culture of sustainability in the Greater Lowell area.
The Marketplace Series: Every first Saturday at Mill No.5 at 250 Jackson St. in Lowell, MA. The market features crafts, home goods, and artisan goods. This is a great way to feel closer to the community, meet people, and promote sustainability by purchasing locally made products.
