About
November? More like YESvember!
​
This month's First Fridays theme is "YESvember" and we we are encouraging people to say “yes” to something new!
We have created a menu of experiences and opportunities for you to say "yes" to, including saying "yes" to fitness at the YMCA FREE Fitness Fest Friday, saying "yes" to trying something new like holistic offerings at Healing Oasis, a new downtown restaurant, new entertainment offerings like a live jazz show at Merrimans' Playhouse, or live music at various other downtown businesses like Ironhand, The Rocki Button, Chicory, and Fiddler's Hearth.
Say "yes" to making clay holiday ornaments at The Pigeon & The Hen Pottery, attending the Fantasy Faire at the Morris, shopping at the Beehive Salon pop-up shop, checking out art at the South Bend Museum of Art, Bunbury Gallery, Fire, Arts, or Highland Studio & Gallery, or trying out mead or cider at Perry Vine. There is so much to say yes to! Check out full details at DowntownSouthBend.com, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to view opportunities throughout November to say “yes” to.
