Sweet Treats | February First Fridays
Friday, February 2, all day
Ol’ Man Winter does his best this time of year to make like a windshield scraper and chip away at our joyful spirit.

Revisit your favorite downtown locations to discover new, decadent treats; luxuriate in the mouth-watering offerings at downtown’s wonderful eating and drinking establishments; visit Goshen’s downtown retail shops and merchants to find deals and items that will put the pep back in your step!
