It’s time to Sip Into Fall!

Our Sip & Shop events are quickly becoming a hit of the downtown, whether it's Girls Night Out or Date Night Fun, there is something for all on this adventure through the downtown, and we're so glad to be able to bring it back this fall!

All proceeds from these events benefit Sterling Main Street's downtown beautification efforts through flowers, holiday decor or other projects to enhance our downtown.  Thank you for your continued support!
