Whatever your plans for this week-end, don't miss the Court Street Festival on Sunday, May 4th. Court Street will be closed from Union Street to 9th Street to make room for about 200 vendors. There will be children's rides and music and lots of food. It starts at 12 and will go till 6 Pm.
See you there?
