Along with a monthly theme, Friday Night Live also features great music as bands play throughout the central business district in front of various businesses.

Residents who dress up as their favorite super hero will have a chance to win prizes in a contest that will start at 8 p.m. in front of The Wright Stuff Collectibles at 8846 Main Street.

The top three costumes will win prizes & the winning costume will win a $100 Downtown Woodstock gift certificate and prizes donated by downtown merchants.

A panel of judges will select the winner. Some of the merchants who have donated prizes for the contest include Reformation Brewery, Dress Up Boutique and The Wright Stuff.

Friday Night Live will also feature the first installment of Northside Hospital-Cherokee’s Movies in the Park series.
