Fans of downtown Fayetteville’s 4th Friday event, brought to the community by local hospitality nonprofit Cool Spring Downtown District (CSDD), will have to wait until August for the event to return.
In an email sent on Wednesday, July 23, CSDD announced a pause on 4th Friday for the month of July.
“After thoughtful consideration, Cool Spring Downtown District has made the decision to cancel the July 4th Friday on July 25, 2025. This decision was not made lightly; we are attuned to what the 4th Friday event means to our community. Cool Spring Downtown District’s goal is always to deliver meaningful, well-executed events that reflect the vibrancy and unique cultural fabric of the downtown community,” shared the organization in a statement.
Instead, CSDD announced that they will be using the break to reevaluate and enhance their 4th Friday events, starting with the launch of a Mid- Season Survey to collect community feedback.
The 15 question survey focuses on guest satisfaction, vendor satisfaction, submission for ideas to improve the event and more.
“As our downtown evolves, CSDD is taking this month to reassess, reimagine and recharge our 4th Friday events,” continued the organization in the statement. “We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership as we work to ensure that future events remain sustainable for our team and impactful for the downtown district.”
Currently, vendor and volunteer applications are still open for the remaining 4th Friday events in 2025 scheduled for Aug. 22, Sept. 26, and Oct. 24.
The 4th Friday Mid- Season Survey is largely for downtown merchants/business owners and vendors, but feedback from the general public is welcome.
