Guests are invited to sip and shop while exploring a curated mix of food trucks, craft cocktails, live music, and family-friendly activities.

Sugared is a New Hampshire home bakery specializing in small-batch, handcrafted sweets and baked goods. With a focus on nostalgic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and plenty of variety, Sugared creates treats for everything from everyday indulgences to gatherings, celebrations, and special occasions.
