Several new retailers and renovated restaurants are joining in the celebration on Saturday, including the historic Yost Theater, Eibar Coffee, La Paloma, R&R Sportswear, Guadalajara, Fiesta Mall, Charlie’s Tattoo, American Barber, Dame Elegante, and many more.
From 5 to 10 p.m., you can enjoy live music, DJs and special product sampling throughout the evening, an in-line skating competition and expo, an appearance by The Food Network's Great American Food Truck Race contestant "The Lime Truck," a "Designer Bazaar" and cocktail reception, meet and greet with pro boxers and even a Cupcake Sprinkle Bar at Moya's Bakery.
All of the events are free except for a special all ages concert by Unwritten Law at newly renovated Yost Theater at 8 p.m. Tickets are $19.99 in advance online and $23 at the door the day of the show.

DJs will spin and drinks will be served until 2am.
