Admission is free and the live music will be provided by by Silk Groove.

Silk Groove takes its audiences on a journey through the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and today, recreating classic vocal harmonies, high-energy and the impressive showmanship of The Temptations, The Four Tops, The Stylistics, The Manhattans and many more.

Plus, don't miss the Makers Market happening alongside the event, featuring local vendors, handmade goods, and unique finds that make the night even more worth exploring. Come early, meet someone new, shop downtown, and stay for the full experience.
