This much-loved Dog-Friendly monthly community event has been reimagined. The goal of the event here on the Suncoast is to benefit the Safety Harbor business community and bring people to the town we all love. Nine blocks of Main St. will come together to showcase the restaurants, bars, shops, and nonprofits in our vibrant community.
The street is wet-zoned so that you can purchase and enjoy alcoholic beverages. Many of your favorite establishments within the event footprint will be out and stroll along nine blocks of Main St., which is alive with entertainment, activities, and shops open late.
