Hump day, again!

This Friday night there's a special event happening at Downtown Commons called "For The Peayple Gathering". Several area leaders will be taking the stage to offer remarks, including Mayor Durrett (who's in his final stretch as County Mayor), APSU President & athletic department, and others. The APSU cheer and dance team and the Govs Own Marching Band will be performing.

ALSO... The Eagles Project will be performing and transport you back to the 70s. From incredible musicianship to flawless vocals, they have no competition!

Food trucks will also be on the scene. Some of Clarksville's favs, like Burgasm, Firelime Offshore Grill, and others. Tater Headz will also be open.

*NOTE: Main Street will be BLOCKED between 2nd and 3rd starting at 4:30pm.

This is free and open to the public. Pets, coolers, smoking/vaping and alcohol are not permitted.
