EBENSBURG DOWNTOWN SHUTDOWN & HOMECOMING WEEKEND EVENTS
Ebensburg – On Friday, July 26 & Saturday, July 27 Ebensburg Main Street Partnership will host their annual Downtown Shutdown and Homecoming celebration.
The weekend begins when the streets at the center of town close down at 6 pm to set up for a free concert that runs from 8 pm to 11 pm. This year’s event will feature The Chris Higbee Band – a high-energy, country musician and expert fiddler. Many of the downtown shops and restaurants are planning specials, events and live music as well, so we encourage everyone to follow our website or Facebook page as we are always updating our schedule of events.
Saturday begins with a community-wide yard sale, a fishing derby at Lake Rowena, a Farmer’s Market in Penn Eben Park, 5K & 15K at the Ghost Town Trail, Free Tennis Clinics at the Tennis Center and so much more. “There are a variety of different activities happening throughout the day and into the evening – it’s an event that our community loves to celebrate!” said Danea Koss, Community Development Director. Yard Sale maps will be available the week prior at the Borough office, Ebensburg Library, and online at www.ebensburgmainstreet.com.
