A new addition this year will be the East & Alex Business Association featuring food and drink specials from 4 to 6 p.m. at several of the restaurants and pubs along East Avenue, from Alexander Street to Union Street. Officials say select businesses will also host buskers in front of their establishments.

“It’s a great way to welcome people to our wonderful neighborhood and get them in the mood for an awesome night of music at Party in the Park,” said Louie Maier, president of the East & Alex Business Association.
