Additionally, mark your calendars for the much-awaited return of 4th Friday on March 22. With over 60 vendors, live performances and tantalizing food carts, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Don’t miss the poignant "Walk Awhile in Her Shoes" event, shining a light on an important cause in our community, domestic violence. This family-friendly walk where men are invited to wear high-heeled shoes to show their support for victims throughout the community. To add to the festivities, the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra will feature a Jazz Ensemble, weather permitting, playing underneath the Market House for all to enjoy.
