Magic on Main turns Downtown Bartow into an enchanting lighted holiday setting during this month’s Friday Fest on Nov. 19.

Activities and vendors will spread out from the intersection of East Main Street and South Central Avenue from 6-9 p.m. with street vendors, plus open downtown shops and restaurants.

Entertainment will include
Legacy Dance Studio, Union Academy Bluegrass Band, BHS Brass Band and Wendy’s Dance Company.

A holiday Friday Fest wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa, who will be at the History Center from 4-6 p.m. for selfies, by reservation only (863-534-4386 or email to jaymejamison@polk-county.net).

City worker elves have been busy setting the stage for Santa to flip the magical switch at 6:30 to light up downtown streets for the winter holidays.

Santa will then head to Two Crazy Nuts on South Central Avenue to visit from 6:30-9pm.
