Bloomington residents have plenty to do this summer, according to announcements from city officials. The Midweek Music and Market series will run weekly from July 9th through August 27th at Bloomington Civic Plaza, offering live entertainment and local vendors. The city encourages residents to check the events calendar for additional summer activities.

The City of Bloomington is also launching language-accessible healthy living fairs to reach diverse community members. The first event is scheduled for July 15th at Oxboro Library and will be conducted in Spanish for Spanish-speaking residents. The fair will focus on practical topics including organic living, recycling, energy efficiency, and will provide free health resources to attendees.

On the business front, Bloomington is celebrating growth at 9M Brewing, the city's first brewery. The business has expanded by opening Creekide Kitchen, a new restaurant that will serve craft food alongside the brewery's existing craft beer offerings. The expansion represents continued economic development in the community.
