Third Friday Celebrations are a beloved summer event with residents of Lincoln, and the fun kicks off tonight. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch told Regional Radio that for this year's series, the city has secured attractions like live music and the art market, as well as almost 50 vendors. 

The Third Friday celebrations are open to all, not just Lincoln residents. Mayor Welch indicates that while the event has grown immensely, they still have the same family-friendly values as when they started. 

Visit Lincoln tonight, and on the third Friday of each month, to participate in the fun. Get more information about the Third Friday Celebrations by visiting lincolnil.gov.
