Downtown Danville is opening July 4th Weekend with another First Fridays event, with this one called Sports and Brews. Sporting events will be taking place such as volleyball, frisbee golf, corn hole tournaments, a celebrity dunk tank, and much more.
The evening will also include Joyful Bubbles, six food trucks, and live music as part of Downtown Danville’s Summer Sounds concert series. Vermilion and North Streets will both be closed through downtown during the event. Community Development Administrator Ashton Greer told D102’s Tommy B that she and the entire team putting this together should be considered “experience creators.
AUDIO: You were talking about Downtown Danville coming back to life. And I believe that our experiences create our beliefs. What you experience builds your belief system. When people experience something really fun and positive, and they feel that energy in Downtown Danville, they start to think about Downtown Danville, and Danville at large, differently. So what we’re doing, we might be party planners, but we’re really experience creators. And we’re changing the way that people believe about Danville.
Friday evening’s Sports and Brews in Downtown Danville runs 5 to 9 PM.
