🎉 Exciting News for the Petersham Friday Market! 🎶🌽
We’re thrilled to welcome Ari Pugliese as the new Friday Market Manager!
You know him, you love him: lifelong Petersham resident, chef, and local business owner (Petersham Country Store, Picasso Restaurant, and Ari’s Café), Ari brings a passion for local food, community connection, and—of course—great music.
If you’ve been to the market, you’ve probably already seen him setting up lawn games, supporting vendors, or enjoying the live music. Now he’s stepping into a leadership role with fresh ideas, including expanded prepared food options and continued efforts to make Fridays the place to be in Petersham. His first order of business was to make the market more accessible for working families by changing the hours to 4 - 7 p.m...the perfect time for making PFM your dinner destination!
Ari believes food and music are the heart of a strong community, and we couldn’t agree more.
Join us June to October and help us welcome him to this new role!
