Performances will take place from 6-9pm and feature the following musicians:

Several downtown businesses will be open and have special promotions.  Visit the Historic Downtown Smithfield, NC Facebook page to learn more.
 
“The Third StrEATery has been so well received, and the impact that it's had on our community has been wonderful!" stated Sarah Edwards, Executive Director of the Downtown Smithfield Development Corporation.  “The Third StrEATery offers attendees an opportunity to gather safely, support our locally owned small businesses, and enjoy music from a diverse lineup of musicians within the region."
 
In order to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved, the DSDC asks that all attendees adhere to the guidelines outlined by the State of North Carolina or local government at the time of the event.  Social distancing is encouraged, and the DSDC will provide touchless, automatic hand sanitizing stations.
