This event is from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, August 24th with street closure early morning to evening along 1st Avenue from Warren to Buller.
It has been heavily promoted via digital, print, radio, and event TV ads this year, something the LDBA has proudly supported by becoming a platinum sponsor of the event. It brings a large amount of people to our downtown and encourages them to come back to explore.
We are also adding the beer garden powered by Bayview Brewing & Zack’s Lounge.
The annual Sidewalk Sale is here, in conjunction with the Arts on the Avenue festival, on Sunday, August 24th.
In conjunction with Arts on the Avenue we have been promoting the summer sale to promote shopping downtown during the festivities. We strongly encourage downtown businesses to stay open during the festival, as a chance for people to peruse and come back to shop. Kathy has been sending out the graphics to use to display in your windows and on social media.
REMEMBER THE STREET WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 24TH FROM 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM FOR LADYSMITH ART MARKET AND SUMMER SALE. THERE WILL BE NO PARKING ON THE STREET AND VEHICLES WILL BE TOWED.
