WARSAW — Main Street Warsaw’s Third Fridays 2024 season began today, Friday, April 19, with activities throughout downtown Warsaw.

At 5 p.m., the Friday, April 19 Third Friday started. Center Street was blocked off for the event from Buffalo Street to Lake Street.

The April 19 Third Friday included live music, food trucks and other vendors.

Edgewood Middle School’s GoBabyGo! program, which modifies ride-on vehicles for children with disabilities, to provide mobile independence, presented the finished vehicles to families. Families were able to participate in a driving time and will take the vehicles home after the Third Friday event is over. The public was invited to view the vehicles and watch the children drive.

The next Third Friday will be from 5-10 p.m. Friday, May 17, and coincide with the opening of the Kosciusko County Velo Cycling Club’s Fat & Skinny Tire Fest.
