Other activities include "Go To Jail" Beer Garden with brews, beverages, and food; DJ; lawn games; "Just Visiting" photo booth; free rides up and down the street courtesy of Green Goddess Pedicabs; and more board game-inspired fun!

Some of this year's many food offerings include: Squash Blossom Puff Pastry from Papille Gustative, Crispy Soy Honey Cauliflower from Library Alehouse, Chicken Potato Taquito with Salsa Verde from Lula Cocina Mexicana, Acai Bowls from Ubatuba Acai, Pepperoni Cheese Mushroom and Acorn Squash Pizza from Triple Beam Pizza, and so much more!

So, throw on your top hats and monocles, get your “dice” ready, and make your way around the game board to experience Main Street's finest! A portion of all proceeds will benefit the Main Street Business Improvement District to help fund community programming.
