Salisbury,
MD –
This
Friday November 16th,
Art, Music and Holiday Spirit will take over Downtown Main Street for
another great 3rd
Friday. From Santa and the Tree Lighting Ceremony, to the CCART
Annual Art Show and Sale, Downtown Salisbury will be the perfect
place to ring in the upcoming Holiday Season. Artists and Crafters
fill the Main Street Plaza Area, and the shops and restaurants are
open with special 3F sales and events. 3rd
Fridays are free to the public, so come down, and experience local
art against our Downtown’s beautiful backdrop!
The
Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony is Downtown Salisbury’s way of
marking the beginning of the Holiday Season. The ceremony will take
place on The Government Office Building Lawn from 5:30 – 7pm. The
program will include meaningful tributes, as well as, special
performances from local area dance troupes and choirs. The ceremony
is then finished up with a Drum line Parade welcoming Santa, followed
by the lighting of the tree at 7pm! After the tree is lit, children
are then encouraged to join Santa in a parade down the Plaza to the
Plaza Gateway building, where Santa will be posing for pictures and
accepting Christmas wishes!
What
Holiday Celebration would be complete without shopping? 3rd
Friday has that covered too, and is so pleased to welcome the CCART
Annual Art Show and Sale to the Powell Building. This show and sale,
organized by the CCART Foundation, helps raise scholarship money for
local area high school students pursue their dreams of higher
education in the Fine Arts, and CCART knows how to do it right! This
Show and Sale is amazing! It is the perfect place to find unique
gifts from local artists, from jewelry and handmade ornaments, to
fine art paintings and more! The 3rd
Friday volunteers spend way too much money here every year, and we
love it!
Need
more Art and Shopping? Well how about stopping by The Art Institute
and Gallery for the opening reception for three different
exhibitions, the Annual Holiday Artist Show, the Foyer Gallery Solo
Exhibition of Phyllis Gillie Jaffe and the Robinson Gallery’s
University of MD Eastern Shore Senior Exhibition, plus everything in
the gallery and the gallery shop is 10% off! Season’s Best
Antiques will also have lots of great sales and goodies, on their
enormous inventory of unique finds.
Once
you’ve done enough shopping, stop by one of the special events
happening this 3rd
Friday. On the Plaza, stop by West Main Recording’s Open House,
Downtown Salisbury’s own full blown professional recording studio.
Come take a tour, see some studio demonstrations, as well as, live
performances. If that wasn’t cool enough, West Main has also
organized an Art Show to go along with it! Amber Nicole’s Bridal
will also be hosting ‘Veils and Cocktails’, in the City Center
Atrium, next to Aqua Bar and Restaurant. This casual open house and
bridal showcase will be filled with ideas and inspiration from a
variety of local bridal businesses, and a great place to stop in!
And
if that isn’t enough, November’s 3rd
Friday marks the One Year Anniversary of our beloved Mojo’s! Can
you believe it’s only been one year? Stop by for a huge
celebration, so huge that they are taking it to the street! That’s
right, it’s a Mojo’s Block Party, with live music and or course
Mojo’s fantastic food and drink specials! Party Hats Optional!
