With all the things happening in town today, you almost feel bad for next weekend. How could it possibly top this?

8 a.m. to noon

Collingswood Farmers Market
Atlantic Ave. along the PATCO Hi-Speedline

Alpacas are back-a, the Camden County Animal Shelter is featuring some adoptable pets, and we are one week away from the Apple Pie Baking Contest.

Noon to 10 p.m.

Before the Bridge Music Festival
Haddon & Woodlawn Aves. (near Grooveground and Warner Landscape & Patio)

This free, all-day, bring your own chair music festival (co-sponsored by Patch) features 10 original music acts, many of which hail from the area. Local notables on the bill include Patch Readers' Choice favorite Kevin Monko and I Am Collingswood columnist Shannon McGill of She Hates Me.

For detailed showtimes and a full list of performers, check out the Before the Bridge festival website. Stop by the Patch table for news tips and swag, and to say hi to your friendly neighborhood editor.

5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Collingswood PhotoWalk
PATCO Hi-Speedline

Amateur and professional photographers from throughout the borough will convene for an evening of picture-taking, networking, and sightseeing in concert with Scott Kelby's Worldwide PhotoWalk.
