Sometimes the oppressive heat of Florida contributes to the summer blues. Much like our northern neighbors who stay in all winter, we tend to stay indoors all summer, venturing out at night when temps drop to a tolerable upper 70's. The good news is, the Downtown Dunedin Merchants Association plans monthly events on the 2nd Friday of each month to encourage you to step out of the A/C and into some cool Downtown Dunedin bars, restaurants and more.

Dunedin’s 2nd Friday Night on the Town!  invites you to explore businesses and locations like The Living Room on Main and take advantage of special 2nd Friday offers, perks and specials. This month's pet-friendly event is this Friday, August 11 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. 

Sponsored in part by Dog-Friendly Tampa Bay this 2nd Friday night in Downtown Dunedin grab your two legged and four legged friends and head over to Main Street for this once a month event. Explore businesses, and enjoy opportunities to eat, drink and be merry! Tell those summer blues where they can go, you have somewhere to be this weekend!
