Summer is in full swing, and the first week of June in Elizabethtown is packed with music, history, and hometown fun. As the days get longer and warmer, our community is buzzing with things to do, and the best part is you’re invited to all of it! If you’re a history buff, country music fan, or just looking for fresh local flavors, This Week in Etown has something for you. Here’s what's happening this week (June 4–7) in Etown:

Summer Movie Series at the State Theater

Tuesday, June 3 | 12pm & 7pm

The movies will be shown twice at 12pm and 7pm, so grab a snack and enjoy a day watching your favorite movie on the silver screen (& come back the next week for the sequel)! 

Hardin County Farmers' Market

Wednesday, June 4 & Saturday, June 7
Nothing beets farm-fresh goodness! The Hardin County Farmers' Market is open and brimming with produce, baked goods, and local finds. This maker-only market means every tomato and jar of honey is straight from Hardin County farms. Great news is you can shop the farmers' market twice a week, every Wednesday from 9AM - 12PM and on Saturdays from 7AM - 12PM. Saturday mornings are especially lively, so come early for the best picks and maybe a breakfast treat from a local baker.

​​Tavern in the Garden

Thursday, June 5 | 6:00–9:00 PM

This weekly series runs every Thursday, weather permitting!
