Mayor's Downtown Celebration Slated WednesdayStaff reports

 | | Main Street was packed for last year's celebration. |
NORTH ADAMS — Thousands are expected to descend on Main Street tonight for the Mayor's Downtown Celebration.
The annual event has become a late-summer tradition for residents, a last fling before the school vacation ends and fall arrives.
There'll be music, food, sidewalk sales, giveaways and activities. But the celebration really functions to bring old and new friends together, to mingle and catch up with each other.
"The main attraction of the event are the people," Rod Bunt of the Mayor's Office of Tourism said Tuesday."It gives people a chance to meet. ... It's a really great night."
The festivities kick off at 5 p.m. with local historian Paul W. Marino leading a free walk detailing the lore and legend of Main Street. Those wishing to participate should meet across from the Mayor's Office of Tourism at the top of Main Street above City Hall.
The events start at 5:30 p.m. along Main, Eagle and Holden streets. The weather is forecast to be clear with temperatures topping in the high 70s.
Bunt said the night includes a children's fun area, the Fire Department promoting fire safety with its "Smoke House," a ropes course display and entertainment throughout the evening. Downtown merchants, art galleries and other community groups will have sales, promotional and informational set-ups outside on the sidewalk.
Also planned is an information booth on the city's new Take Charge campaign to conserve energy. Residents taking the pledge will get an energy-efficient light bulb or a clothesline. The Fall Foliage Charity Bed Race will also be taking sign ups for teams and explaining how the event works.
Local restaurants and vendors will be offering a wide variety of refreshments, from Boston Sea Foods' traditional barbecue chicken dinner at one end of Main Street to offerings from China Buffet at the other.
Music, dance and other performers will be scattered around the downtown. Grouped by venue, the night's entertainment includes:
Berkshire Plaza
Karen's School of Dance 5:45 to 6
Drury Dance Team 6 to 6:15
Berkshire County Line Dancers 6:30 to 8:30
