Week 18 of the Medford Farmers Market is the annual Apple Fest and will feature an apple baking contest, free apple cider and coloring pages, and lots of apple products all around the market. This week’s live music will be by Mike Ho from 3 to 5 p.m., and Rishava Green, from 5 to 7 p.m. Ho performs over four decades of cover music, mostly classic rock and easy listening. The lead singer and guitarist for The Lights Out and for Third Stone, Green will perform solo acoustic originals and choice covers. The Community Table will have representatives from the Lakota YouthStay program, a cultural exchange between Native American youth and non-natives in Medford.

After today, there are two more weeks of the Medford Farmers Market, on Thursdays October 7 and 14, from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Condon Band Shell Park.
