Main Street Bartow’s Friday Fest Back to School Bash

Time to go back to school already. Bring the family and celebrate at Main Street Bartow’s Friday Fest Back to School Bash on Aug. 18, from 6-9 p.m.

Johnny & The Slackers will entertain with live music, and we’re introducing the Friday Fest Sports Series, presented by the Bartow Parks & Recreation Department. First up is a cornhole tournament, which will take place in the 100 block of North Wilson Avenue. Spots are limited so register now at bartowrec.recdesk.com.

We’re also collecting school supplies, so don’t forget to bring your donations to help our local students.
Our monthly Cruise-In car show, sponsored by Kelley Buick-GMC of Bartow, offers Best of Show, dash plaques and door prizes. For more information on the car show call 863-640-2945.

Main Street shops and restaurants will be open and vendors will be set up as well. Space is still available for children’s activities and vendors. Call the Main Street Bartow office at 863-519-0508 for information.
