Main Street Woodstock has released details of the 2015 schedule for its Friday Night Live series.

The monthly mini festival has proved to be a wildly popular event, as each month the crowds grow larger and larger. Spend the first Friday of every month in downtown Woodstock and enjoy the many restaurants and stores the area has to offer.

Participating merchants stay open later, typically between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.

For each Friday Night Live theme, participating merchants will have activities going on at their stores and throughout the downtown area related to the theme of the month. Friday Night Live also features great music as bands play in front of the stores, which adds to the street festival atmosphere of the event.

The lineup for the 2015 Friday Night Live Series, presented by Regions Bank, includes:

• March 6: St. Patty’s Fest — Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in downtown Woodstock as we kick off the 2015 Friday Night Live series.
• April 3: Roaring 20’s Night — Time travel back to the 1920s as the spirit of the Roaring 20’s is celebrated in downtown Woodstock.
• May 1: Super Hero Night — Time to celebrate all things Super Hero related in downtown Woodstock. Be it Superman, Batman, or the Avengers. This night is guaranteed to be Super Fun!
