Middletown Launches First‑Ever Evening Market on June 26

The Town of Middletown is rolling out a brand‑new summer tradition: the Middletown Evening Market, an open‑air community event that will turn Church Street into a lively marketplace filled with local vendors, live music, great food, and small‑town charm.

On Friday, June 26 from 5–9 PM, Church Street beside the Middletown Town Office will close to traffic as residents and visitors explore a curated mix of 26 local makers, artisans, farmers, and small businesses—all creating a vibrant summer night in downtown Middletown.

🌙 A New Summer Tradition

Guests can browse handmade goods, grab dinner from Billy Sous Food Truck, enjoy wine from Star in the Valley Winery, and unwind with live entertainment while connecting with neighbors and celebrating community.

🎶 Live Music Featuring Former Washington Commanders Player Billy McMullen

Middletown is excited to welcome Billy McMullen—former NFL wide receiver turned acclaimed singer‑songwriter—as the featured performer for the inaugural market.

McMullen brings a soulful blend of country, blues, and Southern rock, backed by Kevin Boswell’s electric‑guitar energy as part of the BILLY MAC BAND.

Before stepping into music, McMullen made his mark on the field with standout achievements:

ACC reception record — 2nd all‑time
2004 NFC Champion
All‑time leading receiver at UVA
2001 All‑American, 2× First‑Team All‑ACC, 2002 Team Captain

Learn more about Billy McMullen or explore Southern rock influences.
