Goshen Games | August First Fridays
Friday, August 1, 5 – 9 p.m.
Goshen goes for the gold! Participate in – or just enjoy from the sidelines – the spectacle of three concurrent tournaments downtown: Pickleball and Cornhole. Coaches will be on hand to teach the basics you want to learn, and kids will have their own activities and games to play, including face painting, giant cornhole, and lawn games.
Entertainment

Our events operate with the love and help of many sponsors and volunteers. Join us!
