Where should I park?
Parking downtown is free after 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays — including the parking ramp right next door! Feel free to grab a spot anywhere downtown and stroll over to the Square.
Where is Summer Sunset Festival located?
Summer Sunset Festival will take place under the stars at Main Street Square. Dress for the weather, whatever Mother Nature throws our way.
Is there an admission fee?
The festival itself is free to attend. More details about upgraded experiences to come!
Will there be food and drinks available?
Absolutely! Local food trucks will be there and be sure to grab a drink from the beverage garden. All food and drinks are available at extra cost.
Is Summer Sunset family-friendly?
Like many of our events at Main Street Square, Summer Sunset is a family-friendly gathering. Just a quick heads-up — while everyone is welcome, the fountains won’t be on during this event, and most of the activities will be geared more toward adults.
Is seating available, or should I bring a chair?
Want a comfy spot to enjoy the festivities? High-top tables and the picnic tables at Main Street Square are available through our VIP experience! If you’d prefer to skip the VIP option, no worries — just bring a chair or blanket and find a cozy spot on the turf to soak in the fun.
How can I become a vendor or performer at Main Street Square events?
The process for all of our vendors and performers for all of our events is extremely easy!
Vendors need to simply go to our Vendor Opportunities page, select the event they would like to participate in, and fill out a brief application. Our team will be in touch with you soon after!
Entertainers simply need to fill out a brief form and indicate which event they are interested in performing at.
