Sudbury's annual Summerfest is taking place this weekend in and around Market Square.
In addition to local producers, craftspeople, artisans and food vendors, Market Square is also bustling with a midway. Free shows will be put on during the day by local artists on the main stage, as well as the acoustic stage, and a family stage will provide entertainment for everyone.
