Downtown is the place you’ll want to be to kick off your star-spangled holiday weekend with A Red, White and Blues themed First Friday event on July 3, from 4 pm to 9 pm. This award-winning event brings thousands of locals and tourists together for a themed celebration of the Racine community each month.
Bring along your appetite, dancing shoes and fun money to experience downtown at its finest. Merchants, restaurants, and bars are not just opening doors; they’re rolling out the red carpet, curating a shopping and dining experience.
Take your pick of over 40 restaurants, including Italian, Mexican, Asian, Greek cuisine and more.
International Blues performer Ivy Ford Band will take the stage on Monument Square from 5:30-8:30pm. Crosswalk Park will host Night Wing at 5pm and then Titus, Rench & Wheary at 6pm. The multiple food trucks and vendors on Monument Square will provide additional food and shopping options.
Merchants, restaurants, and bars are not just opening doors; they’re rolling out the red carpet, curating a shopping and dining extravaganza that transcends the ordinary.
