Downtown Champaign’s Toast to Taylor Street block party series returns next month on Saturday, May 18th. Mark your calendars for the other three Saturdays of the series, too: June 22nd, August 24th, and September 14th.

Hosted by Farren’s Pub, the annual Toast to Taylor Street event is designed to bring the community out to celebrate food, drinks, music, and makers. The event will be from 4 to 11 p.m. on the pedestrian part of Taylor Street in Downtown Champaign. There will be stage performances in addition to an outdoor marketplace featuring goods by local artists, designers, and markers. It’s a good time.

Details about performances and the market’s vendor line-up will be announced on the event website soon.
