Get Ready for the Heart of Ravenswood Community Supper!
For the past few months, Downtown Ravenswood Partners has been busy behind the scenes, pouring our energy into planning our very first downtown event: the Heart of Ravenswood Community Supper! Our goal is to bring our community together to share a meal, make new connections, and celebrate all that makes Ravenswood special.
If you want a glimpse of what this kind of community spirit looks like, check out this video from a similar event in Elkins, WV:

Parking
Free parking will be available at the Ravenswood Plaza. Golf carts will shuttle people back and forth to their cars.
Street Closures
Beginning Friday evening, July 11th, the one-way portion of Walnut Street (from the light at Washington Street down to Race Street) will be shut down to prepare for this event. By Friday afternoon, don't park on Walnut Street next to the Wright Co. building. Barricades will be set up across the street from Washington St. down to Race St.
Information for our Downtown Businesses
We encourage our downtown businesses to remain open that night to take advantage of the guests arriving for the dinner. We are also happy to have you set up a vendor table on the Santee Sweets/Black Sheep Tattoo side of the street. Just contact us if you'd like to do that.
