On November 28th for Small Business Saturday, Historic Downtown Sanford will be hosting the first ever Open Container event from 2pm-midnight within a specific footprint. (see map below)

Sanford Main Street, the newly formed public-private partnership to help promote our destination, is leading the way with partners Community Redevelopment Agency, Historic Downtown Sanford® and Wayne Densch Inc. to make this event happen.

With an event such as this, you can support all your favorite businesses while strolling safely in our beautiful open air spaces and historic streets.
