Late Night Thursdays are back!

We’re back baby!!! This is the ultimate Throwback Thursday. Our quaint downtown is FILLED with shops & fun and we rallied the group to agree to bring back late night Thursdays. Not only can you shop till your heart’s content, but you can grab a bite to eat, sign up for an art class, take in a show at the Sheldon, and connect with neighbors & friends. Keep checking this page as we will update the calendar with more events as we add them.

As you can see, we plan to have pop-up vendors inside stores. If you are an artist or crafter or musician or future brick & mortar owner and want to set up a table inside a shop downtown, please fill out this form.
