Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Business After Hours

Business After Hours + Ribbon Cutting + Grand Opening
 The Barbershop on Broadway, 117 W Broadway, Fairfield
 Friday, October 3 | 4:00 – 6:00 PM

Join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for The Barbershop on Broadway in their brand new, larger location, right in the heart of Fairfield!

This event is part Chamber Business After Hours, part Grand Opening celebration, and part community party and you won’t want to miss it.

The new space is a perfect blend of fresh style and classic charm, and the barber pole out front carries a piece of Fairfield history, it’s the original from Larry’s Barber Shop, a downtown staple for decades.

Here’s what’s planned:

 Ribbon Cutting with the Chamber at 4:00 PM

 Food & drinks provided

 Tours of the new space

 Live barber showcases from visiting professionals, including portrait cuts and battle barbering

 Likely live music to keep the celebration going into the evening

The official Chamber event runs from 4:00–6:00 PM (on the same night as Fairfield’s First Fridays Art Walk), but The Barbershop will keep the fun going well into the night!

Don’t miss this exciting chance to celebrate a thriving local business, enjoy great company, and be part of a true Fairfield milestone.

Our Market at a Glance

First organized in 1975, we have become SE Iowa’s most well known farmer’s market. Customers are always pleased, and vendors can’t wait to bring their goods to such a vibrant community of buyers.

The market is intended to provide an opportunity for individuals to sell approved items, which are produced or manufactured by them in their garden, farm or home. Vendors may sell only those products that are approved items and that are grown or made by them.

We are organized as a 501c3 non-profit and manged by a Market Advisory Board. We have expanded to accept vendors from all surounded counties, plus three more counties.

All of our vendors are friendly and helpful.
