verb

Come together; bring together and take in from scattered places or sources.

​

At the core of human nature is the innate desire to connect. From children on the playground to adults at the water cooler to retirees at home, every person has felt the effects of social isolation (especially in recent years). The Gathering was born from a desire to heal through authentic connection while empowering communities to live more intentional, enriching lives.

​

Municipalities partner with us to organize signature events in the form of farmer's markets, artisan/craft markets, and night markets. The Gathering's experience blueprint, however, can be used anywhere. Where connection is, so too can we be. We work with folks of all kinds to create their own Gathering, be it a recurring, public-facing experience, a one-time experience for a special occasion or fundraising event, and everything in-between. 

​

The Gathering is committed to community-building in four key ways:

 

• Fostering authentic human connection

• Supporting causes that matter to us

• Encouraging independent, local business

• Making health and wellness a way of life for everyone

​

The Gathering is rooted in good, from the fresh, local produce of our partnering family farms to the ethically made products of our curated vendors to local music, eateries, and family fun.
