Join us for a first post- COVID art exhibit, say hello to the ‘new’ Red River Brewpub and prepare for a second wave of homegrown goodness. You’ll be happy to know that the pandemic hasn’t shut down summer camp OR the rampant creativity of local young people at Film Prize Jr. The temps are toasty but we love our #CoolDowntown.

See how local artists interpreted their time alone during COVID-19 at the Covid-19 DISengagement Exhibit closing Saturday at Shreve Towne Studio 512.

Come experience the new concept at Red River Brewpub, 1200 Marshall St. The re-imagined restaurant with adult beverages and fun events is sporting all sorts of ‘new’ – new drinks, a new menu and more.
