Bands At The Farmer's Market?

joseph · August 24, 2013

The band at my farmer's market today was so obnoxiously loud that it was impossible for vendors and customers to talk with each other. The band would not turn down the music when asked. It was so outrageous that I sacrificed a week's pay and left the market early.

So how about it? Do you think that bands should be invited to play at farmer's markets? Does your farmer's market invite musicians to play at the market? How often does the band interfere with your ability to sell or buy vegetables? This has happened before, and I'm sure that it will happen again. Any suggestions about how to deal with bands that lack manners and common sense? What's the best way to deal with it when market managers won't tell the band to tone it down?
