On November 28th for Small Business Saturday, Historic Downtown Sanford will be hosting the first ever Open Container event from 2pm-midnight within a specific footprint. (see map below)
Sanford Main Street, the newly formed public-private partnership to help promote our destination, is leading the way with partners Community Redevelopment Agency, Historic Downtown Sanford® and Wayne Densch Inc. to make this event happen.
“We want you to be able to support local in a safe environment. With an event such as this, you can support all your favorite businesses while strolling safely in our beautiful open air spaces and historic streets. Sip and shop with social distancing.” said Christina Hollerbach, president of Sanford Main Street.
Of course there will be rules to follow and we politely ask that all participants wear masks when indoors and be courteous to others in allowing ample space between your groups.
