In conjunction with the postponement of these larger events, the Artist Meet & Greet, originally scheduled to be held at University Plaza, will now take place on its original date of Friday, May 1st. Attendees interested in meeting the artists participating in the National Mural Awards are invited to visit Hub City Brewery, located at 25 W Church Street, between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM. This relocation offers a new venue for community members to connect with the muralists who are in town for the national competition. The City of Hagerstown expressed its gratitude for the public’s understanding and ongoing support for its downtown initiatives. Residents are encouraged to make note of the new date for Thunder in the Square and Music in the Plaza, which promises to be a memorable evening. The city also continues to advocate for local patronage, urging everyone to explore and support the diverse businesses and attractions that downtown Hagerstown has to offer.
