Published Friday, July 10th, 2009
Summertime means getting out for the area festivals, including the Second Sunday Street Festivals in Johnstown’s Moxham neighborhood. Now in its third year, these free festivals give everyone a chance to enjoy great food, music and community.
This year the festivals are being held on the second Sundays of July and August along Village Street (just off of Central Avenue) between Grove and Park Avenues (click here for a map). Each event runs from 1:00PM until 8:00PM.
“It’s a chance for friends and family to gather, eat good food and have a great time together,” says event coordinator Adia Dobbins.
