Businesses that are part of the new Hopkinsville Downtown Entertainment District are organizing events that will encourage foot traffic and shopping while also promoting the works of local artists.
The first Art After Dark is planned from 4 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, July 24. Two more of the events are planned on Aug. 28 and Sept. 25.
Kate Russell, co-owner of Hopkinsville Brewing Co., and others involved in the entertainment district are encouraging downtown restaurants and merchants to have extended hours and host a local artist or musician for the evening.
Patrons who go downtown for Art After Dark will be able to “stroll from one location to the next, grab a bite to eat, visit the Farmers Market, and enjoy everything Downtown Hopkinsville has to offer,” organizers said in a Facebook post.
Businesses interested in participating may contact Russell for more information. Her email address is kate@hopkinsvillebrewingcompany.com
