"We welcome all our neighbors to come join us in a celebratory and uplifting event at the heart of our true town center," he added. Guests can begin sitting in provided seating in the Dining Pavilion at 6:30 p.m. and everyone is encouraged to partake in food from the weekly Farmers Market or take out from any number of the center's dining tenants.
