Our final corny marketing puns of the year

The final Edgewater Monday Market of 2026

It's getting darker earlier.

It starting to get kind of chilly out.

We have no idea who the Bears are starting at QB tonight.

Some things are inevitable in September. It's getting to be that time of year where the summer farmers market comes to a close for the winter. Sad face emoji.

(at least until the indoor market pops back up in January, more on that later...)

Come out to Edgewater Monday Market today from 3pm-7pm to celebrate the end of our outdoor market season.

A bittersweet day for our team, our neighbors, and our market vendors.

Swing by to pick up your dinner, sides, sauces, or accoutrements for your Monday Night Football BBQ or couch party.

Support local vendors, regional farmers, and small businesses, for the last time in 2026 in the Broadway Armory parking lot at Broadway & Thorndale.

Fresh produce, baked goods, meats, prepared meals, desserts, refreshments, sauces, oils, artisanal goods, snacks, and more.

Plus music from local sax legend Beau Barry starting around 4pm.

Glowsticks and flashlights optional, because it'll probably be kind of dark for the last hour or so of the market.

Let's wrap it up and get home and watch some MNF.

THANK YOU

A very special thank you to all of our sponsors, vendors, and team for an extremely successful market season

Our Fall Networking Calendar is STACKED

Looking to get your foot in the door with the local business community?

Looking for prospective clients, partners, or vendors?

Maybe you're job seeking? Maybe you're hiring? Or maybe you're just looking to meet fellow Edgewater business owners, managers, professionals, and entrepreneurs?

Networking Events with Edgewater Chamber are a great way to get started and put your membership to work.

Whether you're a current chamber member, prospective one, or brand new to our community and don't even know where to start, our networking events are the best way to get to know our organization, our people, and the local businesses we represent.

Most of our networking events have no formal program, no sales pitches, and no forced interactions. Just a casual hangout over breakfast and/or evening drinks, hosted at great local bars, restaurants, cafes, or event spaces, that we love to support.

We also have some great multi-chamber networking events coming up this fall which take place in other neighborhoods and follow a slightly different format, if you're interested in more structured networking environments.

Make sure to register in advance to guarantee your spot...

ICYMI, The Edgewater Neighborhood Guide is HERE!

Our very first Edgewater Neighborhood Guide is here!

The 2026 Edgewater Neighborhood Guide created by Edgewater Chamber in partnership with Town Square Publications, is Edgewater's first neighborhood guide in a very long time.

This awesome little booklet includes tons of great information on the entire Edgewater Community Area, Edgewater Chamber's programs, an Edgewater Chamber member directory, a community map, advertisements, promotions, and more information on our local small businesses here in Edgewater.

Thousands of copies of the guide are being distributed to residential buildings, homes, and local businesses around Edgewater. But we'll also have copies for you to pick up at the Edgewater Chamber booth at Edgewater Monday Market, Edgewater Indoor Market (this winter), and other Edgewater Chamber events, while supplies last.

If you can't snag a print version, or prefer to live your life in the digital world,

you can also find a digital version on our website at

https://www.edgewater.org/neighborhood-guide/

Thank you to all of our members and organizations that advertised in the guide!
