It’s true, we swear. Particularly if it's the second Friday of the month and you're downtown.

Yes, the 2nd Friday in Downtown Mesa festival is at it again. This time, the "Winter in July: Ice Cream Social" theme promises 70 art booths, street performers, a benefit for Officer Mark Kelly, and, of course, ice cream galore. Presented by Downtown Mesa Merchants (which has a membership of more than 50 Mesa businesses - yowza!), the shindig rules the evening. BTW, Mesa calls this area “a square mile of unique style” and with art galleries like SunDust and OneOhOne; museums like Mesa Contemporary Arts and Arizona Museum for Youth; music shops such as 5 Star DJ Center and Milano Music Center: and, let’s not forget, the Flying Blanket Recording studio, we’re inclined to agree that there’s some serious style happening.

Go Mesa.
