So excited 😍
Enjoy the next THIRD FRIDAY happening in Downtown Chesterton on Friday Aug 16
If you were to make a list of all the creatives in Chesterton—the artists and artisans, the musicians and restaurateurs, the performers and poets and raconteurs—you’d be impressed by how many actually live and work in this small town.
But you needn’t go to the trouble of making a list. The Chesterton Branding Leadership Corporation (CBLC) has already done it for you, in the form of its Third Friday series, generously funded by Indiana Dunes Tourism.
The next Third Friday event in the series: From 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, in historic Downtown Chesterton.
The mission of the Third Friday series: To create a vibrant arts scene, foster collaboration, and attract residents and visitors alike to experience this community’s vital creative energy.
Get your weekend off to a grand start—right after work!—with special programs, promotions, and events, featuring workshops, art making, popups, gallery exhibitions, live music, restaurant promotions, walking tours, and much more.
