Hot Summer Night In Central Park
Join Fairfield First Fridays, August 2nd, for an evening of fun! Fairfield First Fridays is having a Hot Summer Night in Central Park, with live music, lawn games, vendors, artists, and some community togetherness.
There will be live music by Pierce Crask from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. A little about Pierce:
”Chicago-based singer-songwriter Pierce Crask, drawing from influences such as Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, John Prine, Bob Dylan, Greg Brown, and Chris Smither, has been entertaining audiences professionally as a solo performer since 1999.
Pierce’s love of artists such as Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers, and the Grateful Dead led him to form The Falling Martins with songwriter/bassist Rich Wooten and guitarist Mike Kirk in 2001. To date, the band has released six albums. Critics have said: “Pierce Crask hits the lyrical nail on the head”(Playback STL), “This is an extraordinary band producing elegant roots rock tinged with blues and country, with slide guitar and imaginative keys”(Ruta 66 Magazine in Spain) and “Pierce Crask may very well be this town’s Randy Newman”(Riverfront Times).”
Come celebrate the summer weather, enjoy Central Park and the Fairfield Square. Collector Cars Unlimited will have a car cruise from 5-8pm on the square that night as well. Come see these beautiful cars!
There will be the usual lawn games, Giant Jenga, Outdoor Connect Four, and others. Bring your friends for a little friendly competition! In addition, we will have the giant foam blocks for the younger First Friday Art Walk fans, thanks to funding from the Greater Jefferson County Foundation! We hope these will be a big hit with the younger crowd.
Grab your lawn chairs, your kids, and your friends, and come spend some time celebrating the summer season with us!
There will be many galleries and businesses open on and around the square.
