NEWBERRY — Another Main Street Shop and Dine Night is coming to downtown Newberry. The July 2 event from 4-9 p.m. will feature golf cart history tours from Joy Ride Tours and WKDK’s Rolling Radio show. Additionally, downtown bars and restaurants are now permitted to serve beer and wine to-go to interested patrons visiting the 4-9 p.m. event. The night will be capped off by a free showing of the 1990’s All-American baseball classic movie, “Angels in the Outfield.” in downtown’s Memorial Park by the City’s Parks and Recreation department, around 8:30 p.m./sunset, following the regular first Friday evening’s events.

Pedestrians are invited to stroll, shop, and dine along downtown Newberry’s Main Street. Visitors looking to enjoy a history tour with Joy Ride will find the golf cart tour parked in Astwood Park at approximately 1309 Main Street. Giveaways from WKDK’s Rolling Radio Show will be going on in front of Community Hall at 1209 Caldwell Street. Be sure to bring your own blanket or lawn chair to the Moonlight Movie Night showing of “Angels in the Outfield” in Memorial Park to end your evening.

Blocking the road from vehicular traffic allows businesses to take advantage of the extended outdoor space in the downtown district, to assist in alleviating customer concerns surrounding crowded indoor areas during the coronavirus pandemic. Unvaccinated visitors and youth who have not yet received their vaccine are requested to mask up so all can comfortably and safely enjoy a nice evening strolling through downtown Newberry’s Main Street.

Visitors are encouraged to contact any restaurant or business they wish to visit prior to their arrival to make reservations for outdoor dining and share with retailers their excitement for sidewalk shopping.

Vehicular traffic will be blocked along Main Street from 3-9 p.m. To ensure pedestrian safety, all cars parked along Main Street must be removed by 3 p.m. Those partaking in beer and wine to-go from downtown’s bars and restaurants are reminded they must provide their photo ID to purchase and will be prohibited from taking beer and wine outside of the official boundaries of the event. The City of Newberry plans to continue the downtown promotion through the remainder of the 2021 calendar year, on the first Friday of each month.
