Downtown Manchester will become a live music and art haven for pedestrians every Thursday in July, with activities, local vendors and permanent and temporary art installations.
The events are from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Purnell Place.
This year’s vendors include newcomers Barnard
Home Crafters and Carnista Art. Vendors returning for the event’s second year include Brown Butter Creations and
Crafted to a T.
Off-Main Experience is a collaboration between RiseUP Group, a nonprofit community development and creative agency that has completed more than 30 mural projects with local artists, and Blue Haus Group, a private real estate and economic development firm.
Last year’s event attracted more than 15 vendors and seven live painting exhibits, adding foot traffic that boosted sales at neighboring businesses such as Urban Lodge Brewing.
The Off-Main Experience is supported by Coldwell Banker and Key Bank.
