Very excited for the experiences!

Fredericksburg Main Street, in partnership with the City of Fredericksburg, Virginia Economic Development & Tourism, is excited to introduce 𝑻𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑫𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏, a new weekly event series designed to energize the downtown district and offer residents and visitors a fresh reason to shop, dine, and explore midweek.

Starting Wednesday, June 4 through August 27, Twilight in Downtown will take place every Wednesday from 3:00 to 7:00 PM, bringing extended shopping hours, live music on the streets, and extended happy hour specials to the heart of Fredericksburg. The event timing coincides with the new evening Farmers Market at Hurkamp Park, hosted by Fredericksburg Parks, Recreation and Events, making it the perfect blend of local flavor and community charm.

“We know people are looking for fun and flexible ways to enjoy their evenings, especially in the summer,” said Chris Allen, Executive Director of Fredericksburg Main Street. “Twilight in Downtown offers just that—an easy, low-key way to shop local, grab a drink, listen to live music, and enjoy everything downtown has to offer.”

“We’re proud to partner with Fredericksburg Main Street on this new initiative that supports our local businesses and brings added vibrancy to our downtown,” said Josh Summits, Director of Economic Development and Tourism.

Highlights of Twilight in Downtown include:
● Shops and boutiques open late many with in-store specials
● Extended happy hour deals at participating restaurants and bars
● Street musicians throughout downtown
● A full Farmers Market experience at Hurkamp Park starting at 3:00 PM

Whether you're stopping by after work, planning a casual date night, or simply enjoying a stroll with friends, Twilight in Downtown is your new summer ritual.

Hey FXBG Community!

Brace yourselves—it’s going to be a scorcher this week with temperatures climbing above 90 degrees every day! 🥵 While we all love a bit of sunshine, it’s important to stay cool and safe during this heatwave. Here are some tips to help you beat the heat:

1. Stay Hydrated 💧: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol as they can dehydrate you.
2. Dress Appropriately 👕: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Don’t forget your hat and sunglasses!
3. Seek Shade 🌳: Try to stay in the shade as much as possible. If you’re outside, find a tree or use an umbrella to protect yourself from direct sunlight.
4. Use Sunscreen 🧴: Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
5. Cool Off Indoors 🏠: Spend time in air-conditioned places like malls, libraries, or your home. If you don’t have AC, fans can help, but remember that they are most effective in temperatures below 95 degrees.
6. Limit Strenuous Activities 🏃‍♂️: Avoid intense exercise during the hottest part of the day (usually 10 AM to 4 PM). Opt for early morning or late evening workouts.
7. Check on Neighbors and Pets 🐶: Make sure your elderly neighbors and pets are staying cool and have access to water. Never leave pets or children in parked cars.

Remember, heat-related illnesses can be serious. Watch out for symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headache, rapid heartbeat, and excessive sweating. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Let’s look out for each other and stay safe, FXBG! Share your best tips for staying cool in the comments below. 👇

Stay cool and take care,
