The Thomaston Main Street / Downtown Development Authority Board
has finalized the list of events for 2020. We are looking forward to offering these events to our community this year and we hope that you will all come out and enjoy them. The list is a little different this year and we are looking at implementing more promotional opportunities for out downtown businesses as well as more opportunities for community engagement in our downtown area.
As you can see we are still offering our larger events like the
Freedom Fest
and the
Christmas Parade
. These events are becoming Thomaston Tradition and we will continue to make them special every year.
As a promotional/ community engagement event, we would like to offer
"First Fridays"
downtown. This will be an after hours event, where the community can come downtown on the first Friday of each month starting in May and going through August, to enjoy music, food, shopping and a movie. The stores will stay open a little later, we will offer food trucks in case the restaurants are full and some type of entertainment.
Last year we hosted our first Downtown
Art Walk
and it was a success. We have had many people requesting that we continue to offer that opportunity to the community. So if you are a local artist or know someone who is, have them sign up to be apart of this years Art walk. There will be more information coming soon and we hope to make this years even better than the last.
GA Cities Week is April 19th-25th
and we have a lot of great things planned for our community, our local schools, city employees and city customers. A flyer with more info on these events will be going out shortly and you can also check the city website for more into on how you can get involved.
We have also had a lot of request to bring back the
Taste of Thomaston
and have decided to get to work to bring you the
1st Annual Taste of Thomaston Fall Festival in 2020.
We hope that you are looking forward to all the fun and exciting things coming up this year. Keep an eye on the website and the Main Street Facebook page for more info and updates coming soon. Thank you.
