2nd Saturdays to launch this weekend in Downtown Beckley
BECKLEY, WV (WVNS) – A local effort to revitalize Downtown Beckley has made way for the inaugural 2nd Saturdays event, set to take place this through the Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce's Downtown Pulse initiative, the monthly event will highlight local brick and mortar business locations and will feature vendors and live music. Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce President & CEO, Michelle Rotellini told 59News the chamber hopes to show off the potential of the Downtown Beckley area through the event.'It's like a secret little hidden treasure right now. There's a lot of vacant spaces with a lot of character and a lot of potential,' she said. 'The [Beckley-Raleigh County] Chamber [of Commerce] has really come in to say, 'hey, let's start to create some synergy so that there's a reason to be downtown; so that there's foot traffic.''
2nd Saturdays will take place on Main Street in Downtown Beckley on the second Saturday of every month, as the name suggests. Each event will feature a new lineup of entertainment and vendors. This weekend's event will also feature the soft opening of the Tiffany's boutique in the downtown area. Entrepreneurs and vendors interested in getting involved with 2nd Saturdays have been encouraged to reach out to the Beckley-Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce.
