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.
