Downtown Salisbury Inc. invites the public to ’80s Night Out’ this Friday from 5-9 p.m.
The band 23-19 will be playing 80s music from 6-9 p.m. on the East Fisher Street stage. The group consists of three talented young local musicians who will be performing tunes from such 80s bands as Cheap Trick, Billy Idol, The Romantics and Modern English, as well as songs from the iconic Michael Jackson.
Other music around town will include Mel Jones & His Bag o’ Bones taking the stage at The Blue Vine, the Una Voce vocal ensemble with “SoundWaves” (a Vocal Jazz Experience) will be at Looking Glass Artist Collective, Urban Detoxx will perform in front of Okey Dokey & Co., flamenco guitarist Sam Havens appears at Tastebuds and DC & The Chosen Few will set up at Salisbury Square Antiques.
As always, Downtown Salisbury will be offering free trolley rides; activities for the youngsters such as moon bounces, face painting, and Wacky Doo the Clown; entertainment and music around downtown; carriage rides; and extended merchant hours for shopping and dining. It’s tax-free weekend, so shoppers are invited to stock up on school clothes and supplies.
Local car enthusiasts will have their classic cars on display in the Farmers Market lot on the corner of South Main and East Bank Streets.
The 80s Night Out event is free and open to the public, rain or shine.
