We hope to see everyone out for the fun and festivities. Come say hello tonight, we’ve got some cool and refreshing cocktails 🍹 ☀️✨🍽️
Hot August Night returns to Downtown Hammond on Saturday, Aug. 22, from 4 to 8 p.m. 🌞
We're bringing this longtime tradition back to its roots by celebrating our locally owned businesses, artists and musicians. The evening's signature experience is the Downtown Tasting Tour, where guests 21+ can explore downtown while sampling wine, beer and nonalcoholic beverages paired with curated cheeses at participating businesses.
Start your evening at Railroad Park, where Tasting Tour check-in begins at 4 p.m. Stay for LionPawLooza at 5 p.m., then celebrate Will Vance & the Kinfolk's 15th anniversary performance at 6:30 p.m. Be sure to stop by the Hammond Regional Arts Center to experience Homecoming, the latest exhibition by Hammond native and acclaimed Nashville photographer Robby Klein.
🎟️ We encourage guests to purchase tickets early. Presale tickets go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 4, for $30 (plus tax and fees). This year, tickets are available exclusively through participating downtown businesses. Simply find an event poster in downtown, scan the QR code, and purchase your tickets.
A special thank you to Anntoine Marketing + Design for creating this year's Hot August Night artwork and helping bring this year's vision to life.
