News Release

GOSHEN — Goshenites and First Fridays fans throughout Elkhart County — don’t start unpacking your fall wardrobe just yet. September approaches, yes, but there are still warm times to be had under the sun. The Savor Summer Showcase, a family-friendly ‘sayonara to summertime’ celebration, might be your last chance to enjoy Downtown Goshen in shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals!

The First Fridays Savor Summer Showcase, from 5-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 6, presents a thorough sampling of everything good summer still has left in the tank. The streets of Downtown Goshen come alive with music and dance performances, activities for kids, shopping specials, and a summer-to-fall fashion show presenting cool threads supplied by downtown apparel outfitters. Downtown Goshen eating and drinking establishments help revelers fuel up while enjoying an assortment of warm-weather festivities, and an abundance of food trucks serve everything in-between.

Make it count! Come celebrate the last vestiges of summertime with your friends and family at the Savor Summer Showcase — Friday, Sept. 6 from 5-9 p.m. in Downtown Goshen!

Participating downtown eating and drinking establishments present summertime specials, food vendors serve up tasty tacos — and awesome bbq, and treats from around the world — and the First Fridays beer garden is on-hand with the best craft brews and beverages.

Ben Wilson and the Messengers headline the Miller Poultry Main Stage, and downtown businesses — while highlighting their fall releases — offer Labor Day sales and specials to downtown shoppers. Kids’ activities include face painting, arts and crafts, and in-store events at participating downtown businesses. And the Chill Zone, presented by DJ Construction and the Boys and Girls Club of Elkhart County, offers virtual reality and lawn games!

Enjoy free entertainment from the Miller Poultry Main Stage!

• Shark Sugar: 5-6 p.m.

Don’t let summer end without one last, great hurrah — experience the Savor Summer Showcase, Friday, Sept. 6 from from 5-9 p.m. in Downtown Goshen!
