Teams representing downtown businesses, from Water Street to newcomers Community Grocery and Streat Corner Kitchen, will compete in classic field day events, including three-legged races, hula hoop contests, 3-on-3 basketball and even an owner/manager dunk tank. Cheer on your favorite businesses (or your working friends) during competitions from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., then stick around for the market and live music, which runs until 5 p.m. Kids and leashed pups can join the fun, too, with separate ticketed field day events designed just for them.
