Sip Thursdays in the Village
Beverages + shopping
Every Thursday in the Village beginning October 29, 2026
5 pm to 8 pm
throughout the Village
Free admission
Grab a drink and wander the Village under new social-district rules that allow you to stroll anywhere in the Village with your beverage on Thursdays! Shop-hop while you sip—or just take in the historic ambience of the Village with a beverage in hand. Make a night of it every Thursday evening in the Village through the end of the year!
