Wheels and Deals | June First Fridays
Friday, June 7, 5 – 9 p.m.
Presented by Friends of the Pumpkinvine Trail, Wheels and Deals is back and better than ever! This event places a special focus on Goshen’s bicycle-friendly outlook. Still, revelers are invited to show up in anything on wheels—roller skates, blades, skateboards, unicycles, tricycles, and everything in between—to let the good times roll!
Shop for awesome summertime deals at our many indoor and outdoor First Fridays vendors, participate in an array of fun, family-friendly activities, and enjoy all the great food and drinks downtown has to offer.
And fear not if you don’t have any special wheels to ride into town—we’re providing complimentary wheels the whole family can enjoy: The Steel Wheels!
FREE MUSIC from the First Fridays stage is presented this month by Friends of the Pumpkinvine Trail!
