The popular Downtown Pedestrian Mall officially opens next week.
Starting next Thursday, June 20, Water Street from Adelaide to Prescott will be closed to vehicle traffic daily from noon to 10 p.m.
That will allow people to navigate the street freely without worrying about vehicles.
This year the city is adding some new features to the pedestrian mall, including two free public concerts—one on Saturday, July 6 and the other on Saturday, August 31 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Starting on July 4, the pedestrian mall will host local vendors and artists every Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. in addition to a variety of food trucks.
Meanwhile, the work of local artists will be featured throughout the summer.
A variety of pop-up events are also planned every Friday throughout the summer.
