Every Wednesday night this summer, the 8th Street block will light up with artists, live music, street food and a mid-week Farmers Market.

Artist booths will be core fixtures each Wednesday, and everything from fine art to jewelry to fashion will be on display, and available for purchase. A stage will be set up in front of Pongas, and a different local band will play each week. Music will range from rockabilly to bluegrass to classical. Each of the four local breweries, Ska, Carvers, Steamworks and Durango Brewing, will serve their artisan crafted ales. Several different food vendors are slated to serve street style fare. There are plenty of activities to keep the kiddos entertained as well.
