About the event
The 2026 Midnight Market will take place at The Bower in Bethlehem, New Hampshire.
The Bower is a scenic outdoor venue located at the heart of a 900+ acre conservation forest and certified ecotherapy trail system. We’re grateful to our friends at Life Forest for the opportunity to celebrate the launch of our forest ecotherapy trails by hosting this beloved event for its 5th year.
This year’s Midnight Market will take place on two consecutive evenings from 6pm to midnight: Friday, September 25th, and Saturday, September 26th. This will be a full moon weekend during peak North Country autumn colors, one of the most popular times of year for visitors to our region.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Bower for a magical moonlit celebration of arts, crafts, and community in our beautiful forest. Check out event photos from last year’s Midnight Market at Life Forest in Hillsborough, NH to get a sense of the vibe.
Stay tuned for more information about this year’s vendor lineup, musicians, and activities!
About The Bower
The Bower lies at the heart of 900+ acres of working forest landscape managed by the team at North Country Land Stewards LLC and protected by conservation easements held by the New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF).
The conservation easement that ensures The Bower’s forest will remain undeveloped open land in perpetuity is one small part of the legacy of Dave and Tanya Tellman, dedicated forest stewards and outdoor educators who lived here for over fifty years. The Tellmans’ easement today protects a forest mosaic of diverse wildlife habitats, old growth stands, special wetland ecosystems, and much more.
The current land stewardship team continues the Tellmans’ mission to conserve open land for the benefit of future generations. Through exemplary forest management practices, wildlife habitat management, outdoor education, and guided ecotherapy programs, we aim to promote sustainable uses of The Bower for the benefit of our North Country community and visitors to this beautiful region.
