Third Friday In Galion

Our goal is to give the community a reason to come out and enjoy Galion’s uptown.

The events will kick off with the third Friday in May, the 19th at 4:30pm and go until 8:00pm. Miranda Jones, Member Engagement Director at the Galion-Crestline Area Chamber of Commerce, is collaborating with uptown businesses, merchants and other interested organizations to establish the first-ever Third Friday In Galion.

“Our main goal is to get people to come out in uptown. We want to offer an environment for people of all ages in the area that is family friendly and fun,” Jones said. "Galion has such unique shops that a lot of people don't even realize are in Galion. They drive right past them every day, this will bring awareness to our niche shops."

Retailers plan to stay open late to offer sales, restaurants will offer food and drink specials, and vendors can set up in designated spaces located on the square. No streets will be closed, only parking spaces will be blocked in the square.

If anyone is interested in helping Jones and the Galion-Crestline Chamber with these events, they can contact her at the Chamber office, 419-468-7737 or via email mjones@galion-crestlinechamber.org. Jones stated that she will be reaching out to potential vendors and sponsors in the next two weeks.
