3rd Thursday Street Festivals ~

You don't want to miss these! The 3rd Thursday of every month, from May through September, we close off Historic Main Street (and some side streets) and create a real street festival for the whole community -- vendors of all sorts, food, fun demonstrations and displays, music, and all your neighbors and friends! The festival is from 5:00 to 9:00 pm (the affected streets close for traffic at 4:00 pm).

There is only more Festival remaining this summer -- Thursday, September 16.

Interested in being a vendor?? Click here for the registration form and "rules of the road." This year the cost is $40 per event for non-food vendors and $75 per event for food vendors. Non-profits pay only $20 per event.

   
 

Sheridan Trolley Summer Tours ~
 
The one-hour narrated tours on the Sheridan Trolley have started again for the summer season. The trolley leaves the Visitor's Center on E. 5th St. every hour on the hour, starting at 10 am and the last run starting at 2 pm, Tuesday through Saturdays. The price is still only $1 per person (free for little children). Arrangements for the evening trolley runs, from certain hotels/motels to/from the downtown area, are still pending. Chartered trips are always available, year round, for $75/hour, minimum two hours.
 
We have a lot of "locals" who've lived in Sheridan for years...and have never taken the trolley tour. This summer is the time! We guarantee you'll learn something about Sheridan that you didn't already know, and you'll have an enjoyable ride on a nice summer day.
