Hartwell Fridays return! We’re so back and ready for a fun night of pizza with @pinedas_woodfiredpizza and live music by @xoxok!
Hartwell Fridays is a weekly community gathering featuring local food trucks and live music on the lawn. This recurring event brings neighbors together in a casual, outdoor setting to wind down after the work week. If you are heading out, the event runs from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, making it easy to feed the kids early or grab a late-night bite. Pineda's Wood Fired Pizza will be on-site, and local artist XOXOK is providing the music. Street parking is available along South Saunders Street and the surrounding neighborhood, but spaces fill quickly. The outdoor patio area is stroller-friendly, and there is plenty of room to set up camp with your crew. This is a solid Friday night option because it requires zero advance planning or ticket purchases. You can drop in for thirty minutes or stay for the whole evening, and the casual atmosphere means you do not have to worry if your toddlers are being loud.
