The West Village in Oklahoma City is gearing up for Fourth Friday, a special event that brings the area together to celebrate every fourth Friday of the month.
On this Friday, News 9’s Addie Crowford and the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch travel out to the West Village to learn more about tonight’s events.
Addie spoke to Karen Medina, the West Village Coordinator, to learn more.
Q: What is going to be happening here tonight?
A: So this is a special Fourth Friday, because we are celebrating the second-annual Puerto Rican Festival from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. We’re gonna have live music, a live sculpture demonstration, chalk art and our surrounding businesses will stay open extra late with drink specials, including The Social Club and the Sailor & The Dock.
Q: Is this event for guests of all ages?
A: Yes, that’s correct. Bring your puppies, bring your friends, grab your girlfriend or whoever and come have a good time.
Q: Is this for people who only live in the West Village?
A: No, this is open to any and everyone who is happening to just pass by. Come discover something new in downtown.
Q: If you can’t come out tonight, when else can you come by?
A: From May through October, every [Fourth Friday] night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., we have this event right here on Sheridan.
Q: How much fun was it?
A: It was such a blast, and the great thing is that every month we switch out the live activities and demonstrations. So there’s something new, and there’s always a surprise each time…
