The Midway Business Association kicked off the summer season with a free block party on East Main Street this past weekend, drawing a lively crowd of residents and visitors. The event featured a full lineup of live music from local bands, offering everything from rock and blues to acoustic sets that kept the energy high throughout the afternoon.

Food vendors lined the street, serving up a mix of classic fair fare and regional specialties, from barbecue and tacos to fresh lemonade and kettle corn. Local artisans and small business owners set up booths showcasing handmade crafts, jewelry, and artwork, giving attendees a chance to shop while enjoying the festive atmosphere.

Children's activities included face painting and a small game area, making the event family-friendly. Organizers noted that the block party was designed to support local businesses and bring the community together after a long winter. Many shop owners reported strong foot traffic and positive feedback from customers who appreciated the chance to explore what Midway has to offer.

The Midway Business Association plans to host similar events throughout the summer, aiming to build on the success of this year's kickoff.
