Fall into First Friday Fun - September's Back to School Bash

Can you believe that September is just about here? Where has the summer gone? Though it may be time to say goodbye to long, sunny days and afternoons spent by the pool, we’re going to welcome the change in season with a big, loud, fantastic bash! Are you ready to have some First Friday fun?

You’re invited to join us Friday, September 1st, from 4 to 7 PM in Downtown Bellefontaine for an unforgettable end-of-summer celebration that we guarantee will be memorable for the whole family!

A Jam-Packed Evening of Thrills

We’re so excited to bring you an electrifying lineup of activities that will keep all ages entertained. So, grab your shopping passport at the check-in table to unlock exclusive downtown deals during the event. Then, return your completed passport for a chance to win one of three shopping spree checks!

Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect at our Back to School Bash:

DJ Dance Party

Get your groove on as our DJ spins the hottest tunes. Dance the evening away with your friends and family on the open dance floor.

Time Capsule Activity

The best part? Every dollar from passport sales will go towards purchasing teacher supplies to help fill up classrooms in Logan County. Your support will directly benefit local educators and their students. Plus, if you'd like to contribute by dropping off a donation at one of our participating locations, you'll receive a $5 discount on your passport!

All the excitement will take place at the spacious parking lot behind the Main Street Market Place. This is where you can check in for the event, drop off your donations, and pick up your passport.
