Downtown Traverse City Hosts Community Block Parties

Jazz, art, food and fun will fill East Front Street when Downtown Traverse City kicks off its 2008 series of Friday Night Live on July 25.  Held each Friday from 5:30-9 p.m. through August 22, Downtown’s popular community block party features a full slate of music, entertainment, food, demonstrations and family activities along the 100 and 200 blocks of East Front.

The July 25 event showcases “All That Jazz” featuring musical performers such as Archipelago Project, Big Noise and area high school jazz ensembles.  Also performing “on stage” along Front Street is the return of juggler Tommy Tropic, Izzy the Clown, face painting by Margaret Anne Slawson and caricatures by Jill Justin.
