Gloucester Main Street to Host First-Ever Local’s Night to Kick Off Daffodil Festival Weekend
Gloucester Main Street will host its first-ever Local’s Night on Friday, April 4. Join us from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on the Sanders Lawn (7375 Heron Cove Way, Gloucester, VA 23061) for live music, drinks, and community fun. This marks the beginning of an unforgettable weekend at the Main Street Pavilion and Beer Garden. Entry is free and open to everyone to enjoy.
This First Friday will showcase local favorites, including craft beer from Gloucester Brewing Company; delicious take out dinners from Olivia’s in the Village, Sweet Tooth Café, and Kelsick Specialty Market; and a handpicked menu featuring an oyster bar from Gumbeau’s Mobile Kitchen. Guests can also enjoy handcrafted cocktails by Williamsburg’s Copperfox Distillery and live music from George Robinson and the Gospel Robins and The JD3 Band.
This exciting evening marks the start of the expanded Main Street Pavilion and Beer Garden, running from April 4 through 6 in sync with the Daffodil Festival. For the first time ever, the Beer Garden will be a three-day celebration complete with a full line-up of live music, family-friendly activities, a dedicated kid’s zone, local vendors, food trucks, and more.
The addition of a brand-new concept, the Main Street Pavilion, will highlight some of the incredible local businesses that make Gloucester’s Main Street so unique. Explore York & Main, SPEX on SIGHT, Amazing Grace Flower Farm, and more.
“This expansion allows us to give even more visibility to our local businesses and more reasons for residents and visitors alike to spend time on Main Street,” said Lena Weisman, Executive Director of Gloucester Main Street. “We’re thrilled to kick off the weekend with an evening where we’ve sourced from locals for locals.”
Starting at 11:00 AM on Saturday and Sunday, the Main Street Pavilion and Beer Garden will be in full swing. The event is free to attend, with drink tickets available for purchase on-site.
