It’s the next-to-last week for the Medford Farmers Market at the Condon Band Shell Park, but due to Covid-19 restrictions, the live music (and this week, words) will again be presented online. From 3 to 4 p.m., Ben Mazer reads poems by Delmore Schwartz. From 4 to 5 p.m., Ryan Alvanos sings songs by Garcia & Hunter. And from 5 to 6 p.m., Mark Abruzzesee concludes with a musical set. Tune in on the Farmers Market Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MedfordFarmerMkt/
