The businesses of Opelika’s 1st Avenue will be hosting a block party from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday to celebrate the street’s reopening.
Coordinated by local developer Richard Patton and Opelika Main Street, the event will feature live music, food, drinks, art vendors and specials from area merchants.
The event is the culmination of a multi-year process of enhancing the infrastructure and appearance of portions of 1st Avenue.
Recent improvements to the area include drainage enhancements, larger sidewalks, updated landscaping, water line repairs and the paving of several surrounding streets.
