Street Faire
Savor the Sweet Sounds of Summer!
For eight Friday evenings in summer, Front Street comes alive with the magic of friends, family, community and live music. Life is sweet, and the musicians wrap the night with their warm embrace. Sparks fly off heels, hips twirl in the softly fading light, and friends share a moment of reunion in the street. It’s a spirit not to be missed and for some strange and mystical reason, it happens right here.
