Local businesses will offer food and drink specials and retailers will be keeping their doors open for some late-night shopping. Bring your family and friends to enjoy the new look of Dubuque Street and show your support for the businesses that stayed open throughout the project. Outdoor seating will be available all day to dine on the street and guests are welcome to bring their own chairs and blankets.
