Main Street Greenville
First Friday to
feature over 55 different artists and vendors
If you love arts and crafts, you won’t want to miss Main Street
Greenville’s First Friday event for August, the Artisan Stroll! The
event will feature over 55 different vendors, each offering art,
crafts, or handmade items!
The event will be held from 6-9 pm downtown Greenville on Friday,
August 5th. “It will be a jam packed night, with so much to see and
do,” said Susan Fowble, Event Chair Volunteer. “We are excited to see
everyone downtown!”
Vendors will be set-up on the sidewalks in front of downtown businesses
to showcase their items. The list of items offered include paintings,
ceramics, jewelry, drawings, re-purposed home decor, photography,
pottery, and much more.
In addition to the art and crafts on display, many demonstrations will
take place throughout the evening. The list includes rock balancing,
chainsaw sculpting, wooden spoon carving, and martial arts. The event
will also feature live music located at multiple locations.
The evening features many activities for children to enjoy. The list
includes face-painting, Chalk-the-Block (a sidewalk chalk contest), a
Kid’s Building Clinic provided by Lowe’s Home Improvement, animal and
balloon sculptures, free ice cream provided by First Presbyterian
Church, and more!
Beginning in March, the committee (consisting of Susan Fowble, Patti
Jetter, Kim Murray, Mary Saintignon, Fran Brubaker, and Debbie Niekamp)
have volunteered their time to work with Amber Garrett, the Executive
Director for Main Street Greenville, to create the event.
“The Artisan Stroll is our largest First Friday event of the year and
it would not be possible without the hard work of the committee. They
are a wonderful group of ladies who are dedicated to creating a quality
event for all to enjoy,” said Garrett.
Signs and flyers will be posted the night of the event with the
schedule and the locations of each vendor. Main Street Greenville will
also post the information on their website and Facebook page for you to
download or view before the event.
