Pledge to be Sober at Sundown

We’re pumped to have people of all ages grooving down on Market Square every Thursday at Sundown in the City, but we want to make one thing clear: Sundown in the City has a zero-tolerance policy towards underage drinking. Whether you come in under the influence or try to get under the influence at the event, the consequences you could face aren’t worth the hassle. So, if you and your friends are under 21, come downtown to groove to the music! And stay sober at Sundown.
