AUGUST “BACK TO SCHOOL BASH” FIRST FRIDAY SIP AND STROLL

Posted on

Kickoff the school year in Downtown Thomasville this Friday night, August 3rd from 6:00-10:00 p.m. for the “Back to School Bash” First Friday Sip and Stroll.

With school beginning again soon, summer vacation will be merely a collection of memories shared with friends before class as kids get back into the rhythm of school life. “This is the night to celebrate a return to normalcy for the parents and one last time to soak up summer vacation with friends for the students,” says Dustin Infinger, Marketing Manager for the City of Thomasville. “We have some really great entertainment on the streets that will appeal to Thomasville’s younger crowd, followed by a groovy headliner at The Ritz Amphitheater for everyone to enjoy.”

From 6:00-8:00 p.m., a few of Thomasville’s most talented young performers (Stingonometry, Mars and MC Klay) will fill the streets with music as you walk amongst the many shops and restaurants that make Downtown Thomasville the Main Street jewel of South Georgia. Adults can purchase a beer or wine from one of fifteen local vendors then “sip and stroll” with our approved disposable cups within the designated area. Keep an eye out for the blue recycling bins around the amphitheater supplied by Keep Thomas County Beautiful as an eco-friendly option for disposing your cups.

Come to The Ritz Amphitheater early to catch a sneak peek of the OBCDA (Off Bradstreet Centre for the Dance Arts) and FIRM Dance Company’s upcoming performance of This Is Me. Join these talented young dancers at 7:30 p.m. before Crooked Shooz take the stage at 8:00 p.m.

Tallahassee’s Crooked Shooz—led by front man and musical veteran Mark Blair of Honolulu—perform R&B, Soul, Rock, Blues and Jazz, and are sure to get the crowd moving as the sun sets over Thomasville.

A few of our local Downtown vendors will be setting up at the amphitheater during the concert as well. “We love having our Downtown businesses participate in these events,” says April Norton, Main Street Director for the City of Thomasville. “Come enjoy a slice of artisan hand tossed pizza from AJ Moonspin, a freshly rolled ice cream made on sight by Kreamkles, or a gourmet all natural Hyppo ice pop from Smith Collective.”

First Friday Sip and Stroll events are free and open to the public. Smaller acts perform Downtown from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The OBCDA FIRM Dance Company performs at The Ritz Amphitheater at 7:30 p.m. followed by Crooked Shooz headlining on the main stage from 8:00-10:00 p.m. For more information, visit thomasvillega.com or call the Thomasville Visitors Center at 229-228-7977.
