Historical Uptown Westerville came alive in a big way last Friday. April 25^th marked the kick off of spring with the first 4^th Friday Celebration of the season. Uptown was “Alive with Art, Alive with History and Alive with Shopping.”

Agent 99 and the Ain't Misbehavin' Dixieland Band entertained dancing crowds on both ends of town while the Westerville Police and Fire departments educated children about safety. Generations dance studio kept a growing crowd interested with outdoor performances in front their studio on College Avenue. All this took place while crowds meandered through the streets enjoying extended shopping hours in the many Uptown shops and a wide array of offerings from our street vendors.
