THOMASVILLE- Mark the calendar for November 3rd, as the City of Thomasville presents its next First Friday Sip & Shop! Explore and indulge in Downtown Thomasville and wrap up the evening with a sensational performance by the Steve Walden Band.

Kicking off at 6 p.m., Downtown Thomasville invites the public to immerse themselves in shopping and dining experiences.

“Many of our retailers extend their hours during these First Friday events, offering an ideal moment to dive into your holiday shopping spree,” noted Nicole Elwell, the City of Thomasville’s Events Manager. “We also have a diverse range of eateries and a selection of food trucks that will be participating, so you can enjoy dinner before the complimentary concert begins.”

Before the concert, attendees can stroll through Downtown Thomasville and enjoy live street music, with musicians set up throughout the event area. The Steve Walden Band will hit the stage at The Ritz Amphitheater from 8-10 p.m. Steve is a talented singer, writer, producer, and musician with an R&B vibe.

The event is family-friendly and a great chance to explore everything Downtown Thomasville has to offer. Main Street Manager Brandy Avery added, “These events not only increase support for our local businesses but also spotlight the vibrant heart of Downtown Thomasville to both residents and tourists.”
