Want something quick? Grab a taco from the taco truck– Decide for yourself if Los Garcia or Hugo’s taco truck win the battle of best taco– over by the Brass Mill Center.
Visit: Keep the night rolling with a show at the Palace Theater. Whether you attend a musical performance, a stand-up comedy show, or a concert, your night is guaranteed to be unforgettable.
