Finally Fridays is a free community pop-up market featuring local vendors, live entertainment, and interactive activities at Morgan Street Food Hall. If you are planning to go, the event starts at 5:00 PM, making it an ideal stop for an early dinner. Kids will enjoy the digital passport game where they can collect stamps from different booths. Because the market takes place inside and around the food hall, you have easy access to restrooms and over twenty different food vendors. This event is a great weekend pick because it solves the dinner debate. Everyone in your group can choose their own meal from the food hall stalls, and you can stroll through the local vendor market together without a stressful cleanup at home.
