Fifth Friday Returns to Downtown Roseburg July 31
Fifth Friday returns to Downtown Roseburg on July 31 with live music, food vendors, refreshments, shopping and special activities inside participating businesses from 5 to 8 p.m.
ROSEBURG, Ore. - Downtown Roseburg businesses will stay open late Friday, July 31, for an evening of live music, local food, shopping and special activities during the return of Fifth Friday.
The event will run from 5 to 8 p.m. at participating businesses throughout downtown. It is organized by Origami Creative Co. LLC, (re)Discover Downtown Roseburg and downtown merchants.
Rather than closing streets for a traditional festival, Fifth Friday activities will take place inside participating businesses. Downtown streets will remain open to traffic, and normal parking areas will remain available throughout the evening.
Visitors will be able to explore locally owned stores, meet artists and makers, find special promotions and experience businesses they may not have visited before.
Food and refreshments planned for the evening include:
- Two food trucks
- A Roma-style pizza pop-up
- A cupcake and cookie vendor
- Samples and refreshments at participating businesses
- Food available from downtown restaurants
Live music will be offered at three downtown venues. Two of the venues will have no cover charge, while one will require separate paid admission.
Participating businesses have also been encouraged to offer food pop-ups, product samples, live entertainment and other special in-store experiences.
“Fifth Friday is all about showcasing the incredible variety our downtown businesses have to offer,” said Eric Andrews, organizer of (re)Discover Downtown Roseburg. “Each month brings something a little different, and July is a great opportunity to enjoy local food, live music, shopping, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes downtown Roseburg a destination.”
Visitors can explore the event at their own pace. Printed guides showing participating businesses and scheduled activities will be available throughout downtown on the evening of the event.
