Entertainers will take to the area’s sidewalks and public spaces, performing music, juggling, ice sculpting, and more.
Over 30 of the neighborhood’s restaurants will participate with food tastings at a nominal cost ($1 – $4) at three outdoor locations. The food tastings take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. See a list of items planned for the food tastings.
