What an incredible day for our 2026 Ladies on the Loose event on May 2nd! 🛍️

Aledo Main Street would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the amazing businesses who participated, donated giveaways and specials, our wonderful volunteers, and every lady who purchased a ticket and spent the day supporting local.

Because of YOU, nearly $5,000 was spent directly at local businesses during the event, and with coupon books still being used, we know the support will continue well beyond the event day! Seeing our downtown filled with laughter, shopping bags, and friendship made for the perfect ladies day out.

We are so grateful for the continued support of our local businesses and community events that help keep Downtown Aledo thriving. Thank you for making Ladies on the Loose such a fun and successful event. We already can’t wait for next year! 💕
