Friday, May 1
Theme: Southern Style
Kick off May the Southern way, with slow-smoked BBQ, yard games, inflatables, and that easy spring feeling that makes you want to be outside all night. Stroll Main and Church Street from 5 to 7:30 pm, browse local makers, and take in the art exhibits across downtown. Come dressed the part and stay for the whole thing.
