Best place to experience families in the neighborhood on a Sunny Friday night. May to October. 5:00-10:00
Live entertainment, farmers market, craft market and an abundance of food trucks for gourmet dining on the pier. Very festive, beer garden, face painting, animal balloons and kids dancing to the local band. Can get very busy and sometimes the food trucks sell out so go early for dinner. (I have no idea why it shows a picture of a hotel room?? Ignore this)
