[July 19, 2018]   LINCOLN - Put on your swimsuit and beat the summer heat with 3rd Friday’s Downtown Lincoln on Friday, July 20. Event organizers are planning water related activities for the next affordable family fun night, so don’t forget your swimwear and water shoes.

Fun and Games

There will be a fire hydrant sprinkler, a 65 foot inflatable obstacle course, and bouncy house with a slide—all for the kiddos. Adults can join in the fun with our adult tricycle course, and a bags tournament sponsored by the Alley-Bi Saloon and Spirited Republic. You’ll also find yard games including Jenga, Connect Four, and giant Kerplunk.

Live Music

Bring your own lawn chair and listen in to local musical favorite, Danny Tackett’s Chicken Pickin’ Orchestra. The band will perform on the corner of Kickapoo and Pulaski Streets.

The 3rd Friday’s Vendor Market will be located along Kickapoo Street and participating restaurants and vendors will position stands outside their businesses and along the square.
