Free Live Music, Eating Discounts, at Cardinal's Night on Main Street


Main Street Restaurants hope to be flocked by Cardinals this Wednesday night, as many of the restaurants will be giving substantial discounts to Wesleyan students, faculty, staff, and in fact to anybody wearing Wesleyan garb. Discounts will be given at virtually every eating establishment between Thai Gardens and Iguanas Ranas.

A free outdoor concert, featuring four different Wesleyan bands, will be part of the attraction. The music will be at Riverview Center, from 6-9PM, and feature August West (funk and jam), It's Chinatown (punk), Bones Complex (covers of popular songs) and Linus (rock and blues).

Marie Kalita-Leary, Director of the Downtown Business District, told me that Cardinal's night is a great opportunity for the Wesleyan community, especially the students, to come downtown, hear some music by Wesleyan bands, eat dinner, and see what Main Street is all about.

There will be free shuttle from Wesleyan, although with good weather forecast, students are likely to make the 10 minute walk from campus to downtown. Main Street may very well be hopping with Cardinals.
