Mark your calendars, Froggy 102.7 listeners! Friday, June 6th from 5-9 PM, downtown Goshen is transforming into a family paradise that’ll have your kids begging to go back every month.

Why This Event is a Mom’s Dream Come True

Let’s be honest – finding an event that keeps the kids entertained while you actually get to enjoy yourself? That’s like finding a unicorn. But Goshen’s “Wheels and Deals” First Friday delivers exactly that magic combination.

The Kid Factor: Your little ones can test their skills on a FREE bicycle course (thanks to Viewrail), watch jaw-dropping BMX bike shows, and even try their hand at toy axe throwing – yes, you read that right! There’s also virtual reality fun and plenty of family-friendly games scattered throughout Main Street.

The Mom Factor: While the kids are entertained, you can browse the Well-Crafted Artisan Market, grab a drink from the Goshen Brewing Company Beer Garden (hello, Winona Brew Bike!), and maybe even treat yourself to some permanent jewelry from Fused 508.

Entertainment That Actually Entertains

The live music lineup is solid with three bands hitting the Miller Poultry Main Stage:

• The Erly (5-6 PM) – Perfect background music while you’re getting settled
• The Antivillains (6:30-7:30 PM) – Great energy for peak family time
• The Go Rounds (8-9 PM) – Wind-down vibes as the evening wraps up

Plus, there’s a motorcycle showcase featuring Janus Motorcycles that’ll have both kids and adults mesmerized.

Food Situation: Handled

Nothing kills a family outing faster than hangry kids and limited food options. This event has you covered with multiple food trucks AND all the downtown restaurants staying open. Pro tip: Shirley’s Popcorn is celebrating First Fridays’ 18th birthday with Birthday Cake flavored popcorn – your kids will think you’re the coolest mom ever.

The Bottom Line

This isn’t just another “bring the kids and suffer through it” event. It’s genuinely designed for families to have fun together. The bike theme means kids can bring their own wheels (bicycles, roller skates, rollerblades), and there are activities for every age group.

Event Details:

• When: Friday, June 6, 5-9 PM
• Where: Downtown Goshen, Main Street
• Cost: FREE (yes, really!)
• Parking: Multiple lots available downtown

What to Bring: Your family’s bikes, roller skates, or rollerblades, your appetite, and a good attitude!
