Dance into Labor Day with block party

Waynesville’s Labor Day Block Party will run from 7 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 3, in downtown. Main Street will close at 5 p.m. for setup.

Restaurants will remain open, many with outdoor seating. A kettle corn vendor and homemade baked goods will be offered by the Waynesville Police Department as a fund raiser for their SRT training. Mr. Tom, the balloon man, will return to the children’s area in front of Fun Things.

The 96.5 House Band will play a set spanning nearly four decades of hits. The Josh Fields Band, a mixture of Southern rock, classic and contemporary country, and bluegrass, is back and Rafe Hollister will bring their own brand of roots music with a seasoned and authentic sound.

Many shops and galleries will remain open. Port-a-jons will be in the upper parking lot of the United Community Bank.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
