Florence After 5 is back TONIGHT, Friday, September 25 in the 100 block of S. Dargan Street from 5:30-8:30 p.m. After your 9 to 5, make plans to head downtown and join us for the LAST Florence After 5 of the season with a special Dolly Parton twist. Here's what you need to know if you're headed downtown to kick off your weekend with Florence's favorite block party.
Joining us tonight on stage is fan favorite, Rivermist bringing the best in Beach Music, dance hits, top 40, funk and soul. During the band break, we'll be playing special tribute to Dolly Parton on National Dolly Day (9/25) and we encourage attendees to wear their Dolly best--rhinestones, pink, and butterflies! We'll also be joined this evening by the Florence County chapter of Dolly's Imagination Library. Consider making a monetary or ticket donation to any of the donation boxes at the ticket, b**r, or Imagination Library booths.
Stop by the ticket booth near the Florence County Museum and enter to win a custom Florence After 5 lawn chair! We'll be selecting TWO winners at this event, during the band break around 7:15 p.m. and one around 8:15 p.m. You have to be present to win, and the winners will be announced at the stage. Each winner will receive one custom chair.
