CANAL STREET NIGHTS

It was a great night with breakout attendance. Our guests were treated to 4 live musicians, food trucks, all of our great restaurants open and some out on the street, making it a party! Many of our fabulous merchants actively participated in the event and the petting zoo for the little ones was a huge hit with parents. We hope you were there. We'll see you at the next CSN in February!
