As summer winds down and school gears up, Wellen Park is keeping the energy high with a packed August lineup. From Sunday morning strolls to jazz cabarets and one epic foam party, this month is all about community, connection, and a little bit of late-summer magic.
Here’s what’s happening in Downtown Wellen this August:
Back-to-School Foam Party Bash – August 8
Backpacks are being packed and pencils are getting sharpened, but not before one more summer celebration. The Back-to-School Foam Party hits Downtown Wellen on Friday, August 8th from 5 to 7 PM, and it’s going to be a blast—literally.
Expect giant foam cannons, a video game truck, classic lawn games, and a whole lot of laughs. It’s a free, family-friendly event that’s perfect for making one more fun memory before classes begin.
Sunday Mornings at the Fresh Harvest Farmers Market
Every Sunday from 9 AM to 1 PM, Downtown Wellen turns into a local lover’s dream. The Fresh Harvest Farmers Market brings together a colorful mix of farm-fresh produce, local seafood, fresh-cut flowers, handmade soaps, small-batch breads, and so much more. It’s the kind of Sunday start that makes you slow down, sip your coffee, and enjoy the morning.
This is more than just a market—it’s where neighbors run into each other, kids chase bubbles, and visitors get a true taste of life in Wellen Park.
Wellen Park Night Market – August 14
As the sun sets on Wednesday, August 14, the lights come up for the Wellen Park Night Market from 6 to 9 PM. This curated outdoor market brings together local artisans, makers, and food vendors for an evening of discovery. Think candles, charcuterie boards, jewelry, home décor, and more—plus the occasional live music set and pop-up drink specials.
Whether you’re shopping for something special or just enjoying the vibe, it’s a night to mark on the calendar.
