Fenton City Council has approved the return of late-weekday downtown fun that was a success last summer.
The âFenton Street Experienceâ is coming back on Thursday and Friday evenings from 5pm until 9pm beginning May 20th. It is scheduled to run weekly through October 14th and 15th. In a memo to City Council, City Manager Lynn Markland wrote that one of the takeaway from last yearâs event was an appreciation from the public and especially families to have pedestrian use of the streets those evenings. It also helped businesses, including restaurants and bars that took advantage of a joint right-of-way application for the use of sidewalks during the event. This year, Markland says they are doing it again and have also created a number of mini-events to supplement the Experience, with health, safety, and welfare in mind. The Farmerâs Market will also run on Thursdays.
