THIRD THURSDAYS STREET DANCE
For decades the Third Thursday of the month has been a time for Downtown Northfield retailers to offer bargains in their stores, extended hours, and special events in Bridge Square: pie-eating contests, root beer floats, and many other fun options. This year Third Thursday Downtown is a Street Dance.
The Friends of Downtown Northfield are excited to announce the return of the Third Thursday Street Dance. Come on down to Bridge Square and listen and dance to live music, enjoy food from local restaurants, and drinks from that month’s Fermentation Friend!
It’s free fun for the whole community! All are welcome!
