Chamber hosts First Friday events on the square this summer
The Milwaukee Ballet will be in East Troy at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, June 3, as part of East Troy’s new First Friday series.
“First Fridays are an exciting way to celebrate everything our town has to offer and reconnect locals with the businesses we have here,” East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Vanessa Lenz said. “Participating business owners will offer specials, coupons, demonstrations, featured menu items and more.”
Connect Communities, an East Troy organization that works to drive downtown revitalization, is partnering with the East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce to host the series of events.
Each First Friday event will feature a showcase event at East Troy Village Square Park with surrounding local businesses collaborating to bring an afternoon and evening of fun.
First Fridays will run along with the East Troy Farmers Market, now in its eighth year, from 2 to 6 p.m. at East Troy Village Square Park.
