Do you want to keep your Fourth of July party rocking? Join the City of Carmel from 9 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, July 7 for the second “Late Night on Main” street party in the Carmel Arts and Design District. The city will shut down the block just west of Range Line Road to make way for musical entertainment, dancing in the street and enjoying the eats and treats from local vendors who will be staying up late.
Previously-scheduled group The Carl Storie Band will not be able to perform due to illness, but “Late Night on Main” has booked Toy Factory to take the stage.
“We are well into our robust event season in the City and there is no better place to be Saturday night than in the heart of the Carmel Arts & Design District,” said Mayor Jim Brainard. “These late night events were created to enhance our night life entertainment and to bring people together to share music, dining and a little shopping in a unique setting.”
With the goal of bringing more attention to different sections of Main Street again this year, the Late Night on Main events will be moved east and west on Main Street throughout the year. Patrons on the patios and sidewalks at Donatello’s Italian Restaurant and Mudbugs Cajun Cafe will have front row seats to the show.
This means Main Street from Range Line Road to Veterans Way/1st Avenue NW will be closed beginning around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday so preparations can be made, including the placement of a stage for the band. Detour signs will be in place to direct traffic around the closure. Plan for extra time Saturday afternoon and evening if your route includes Main Street.
Mark your calendars for upcoming Late Night on Main events on Aug. 18 and Oct. 5.
