4th Avenue

Affectionately called "Fourth" by locals, this historic district has been a hub of creativity and charm long before today’s wave of hipsters. Home to over 100 unique, locally owned businesses, Fourth Avenue buzzes with energy and character. The area also hosts seasonal street fairs, featuring food, music, a kids’ art pavilion, and more. A standout event is the legendary Fourth Avenue Street Fair, held each spring and winter, drawing crowds with its vibrant atmosphere and eclectic offerings.
