Welcome to Support Arlington Center
Support Arlington Center is a citizens' group dedicated to keeping Arlington Center thriving with diverse, successful small businesses. It was started in June 2016 during the alarming rate of empty storefronts and exorbitant rent increases. The group works with Town members, business owners and the community to encourage shopping and dining in Arlington Center. The group consists of Arlington residents, business owners, and visitors who love and support Arlington Center. We feel a special responsibility as the site of Town Hall, Robbins Library, Arlington High School, the Town Garden, Arlington Town Day, Jason Russell House, Cyrus Dallin Museum, Spy Pond, the Boys and Girls Club, the Senior Center, the main post office, and much more. Learn more about Support Arlington Center and join the conversation on Facebook.

Featured Business of the Month
Arlington's Farmer's Market
Hooray for our farmer's market! Arlington's is one of the longest-running markets in the area and focused on bringing the best produce from local farms to our town. Everything from fresh bread to local cheese and meat to gourmet honey to baked goods. And, of course, loads of lovely fruits and vegetables. The market is located in Arlington Center, in the Russell Common parking lot, behind Park Terrace, just off of Rte. 60/Rte 30. It's open Wednesdays, June to October, 2pm-6:30 p.m. Fun fact: Live music is performed at the market on many Wednesdays. Website | Facebook |
