Downtown Frederick Partnership Announces the Alive @ Five 2023 Season Begins Thursday, May 11
Alive @ Five is a summer-long fundraiser for Downtown Frederick Partnership
FREDERICK, Md., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Downtown Frederick Partnership is pleased to announce its 19th annual Alive @ Five summer happy hour series, presented by DARCARS Toyota of Frederick.
Alive @ Five is a summer-long fundraiser for Downtown Frederick Partnership, featuring 21 weeks of live music along beautiful Carroll Creek in Downtown Frederick. All proceeds from the event benefit the Partnership, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing, promoting and preserving the vitality, livability and diversity of Downtown Frederick, a national Main Street community.
Starting on Thursday, May 11, Alive @ Five will take place every Thursday through September 28. All happy hours are 21 and older events (valid ID required) and are located in the Carroll Creek Amphitheater from 5-8pm. Entry is $6 per person, per event for the 2023 season. Executive Director Kara Norman explains, "We are thrilled to celebrate our 19th season by offering a fantastic line-up of bands and introducing locally-created craft cocktails to an already terrific line-up of local beers and wine. Still a great value at just $6, this first-ever price increase helps offset rising expenses while keeping the event fun and affordable for the community to enjoy." All craft beverages are also $6 each.
Beer, wine, cocktails and food are all available for purchase during the event. Beer is provided by Brewer's Alley every week, with special Tap Takeovers by other downtown breweries throughout the season. Wine will be provided by District East and cocktails will be provided by McClintock Distilling Co. and Tenth Ward Distilling Company. Local food trucks provide a rotating schedule of food offerings with different fare featured each week. Find the weekly lineup of bands on our website: downtownfrederick.org/aliveatfive
Interested in volunteering during an event? Each week, the Partnership relies on 45 volunteers to help pull off downtown's favorite outdoor happy hour. Volunteer positions include craft beverage pourers, front gate workers, event setup and teardown, and more. Sign up at bit.ly/aliveatfivevolunteer2023
