IT IS HAPPENING!! TONIGHT!!
Buckle up Chipley because Thursday Night Lights is keeping the lights on downtown after hours!
Here is SOME of what's going down... MUSIC, FOOD, SHOPPING, and our FIRST EVER TOUCH A TRUCK EVENT!
🕔 Sensory-Friendly Time until 6:30 PM!
❌ NO lights, NO sirens—just trucks and chill vibes. It’s the perfect time for little explorers, our sensory-sensitive folks, and your Grandpa Joe... because we all know he’s got his hearing aid 🦻 turned all the way up!
Heads up though: There WILL be blue lights at State Road 77 and S. Railroad the duration of the event to keep things safe for all you jaywalking rebels.
Down by the Railroad...
🎵 DJ Cedric Bellamy, sponsored by Sage Brand Studio, Southpoint Contracting, and Keisha Williams Fine Art Photography,LLC will be dropping beats on S. Railroad. Get ready to dance like nobody’s watching—or at least like nobody’s filming (DISCLAIMER: We make no promises and aren’t responsible for what your friends do, boo!) 🕺 💃🏼
Dylan Kelley 🎤 🎸 will be serenading the night away on N. Railroad with tunes so smooth even your grumpy uncle might relax and crack a smile. A big thanks goes to M.Corb / Architectural Design for bringing him back this month. They also have a surprise lined up for the kiddos - We’re not spoiling it but we ARE confirming it’s not broccoli 🥦 .
Box Car Coffee of Chipley will be serving up caffeinated joy in every single cup. We think they must get a secret ingredient directly from heaven. ☕
INDI WILD is having a 20% off sale and a custom charm bar that’ll make you keep coming back for more! It'll be your newest addiction. 🛍️
Southern Roots & Co always has something for everyone! I mean, have you seen their fall line for the littles?? TAKE ALL MY MONEY!💵
🚒 🚔 🚑 🚜 TOUCH-A -TRUCK:
If it’s big, on wheels, and makes noise, you’ll probably find it on the corner of 5th Street and S. Railroad. We’ve got trucks, cars, heavy equipment and ATVs from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, Chipley Police Department, Washington County EMS, Chipley Fire Rescue, Washington County and City of Chipley Public Works and more. They have some goodies for the kiddos too!
Chipley High School/Home of the Tigers Project Graduation will be cooling you down with $2 snow cones. Perfect for when you need to bribe the kids—or yourself—to stay a little longer! 🍧
Three Forks Take N' Bake will be serving up the best dogs in town. But don’t take too long to decide—these dogs disappear faster than you can catch a case of FOMO 🌭
Sliced Deli - we know you have a favorite there! Stop by and grab it! 🥪
Sandra Victoria Beauty will be open and we hear they will have a motorcycle out for the kids to see. SO cool! 🏍️
Heading Over To The *East Side... 🚶
Lemons N Friends, The Roasted Corn Man, and Scoops, Sweets, and Treats food truck, and Some Moore Rinds will be found along S. Railroad and 7th Street. Get ready to satisfy all your munchies.
Oh, and on a serious note... calories don’t count at TNL. So with all this walking you’re technically in a calorie deficit!! 👏🏼
On 7th Street you will also find the Artisan Market at the Farmer's Market Pavilion with a great variety of vendors and some of our local candidates will also be out and ready to see you!
‼️ Don’t forget Election Day is August 20th and early voting has already started! Visit Washington County Supervisor of Elections for more info!
Washington County Historical Society museum will be open! We will bet you didn't know our history is so cool. And peep their new signage! We think it’s selfie worthy! 📸
Purradise City, a new downtown business, will also be open and has a unique experience awaiting you! SPOILER ALERT: We are not saying it involves cats but... it might involve cats. 🐱 🐾
Strolling Down Main Street... South of the Railroad
Rooted at 120 is our newest downtown gem and will be having arts and crafts and more! Check them out and show them what this community is all about!! 🎈
Coin and Jewelry Broker - Sapp’s Jewelry You already know we love the Sapp's and have been scouring their displays for the perfect Christmas gifts. (It really is just around the corner!) 🎄
Louis & Nash Mercantile is temporarily closed for renovations ... stay tuned. (The Ugly Mug Coffee & Cafe will also be closed during TNL this month because they are working hard on the mercantile. They will be open until 3pm today.)
Sister's Sweets, Eats & More will be your go to for Friday morning after staying out late downtown Thursday night! They will be closed during this month's TNL but we are thankful for their continued support and help with Touch A Truck! AND THEIR SWEETS. We are definitely thankful for their sweets. 🍪
Wild Roots Apothecary and Seed Shop is a must! Ask Crystal for a tea recommendation. She NEVER. GETS. IT. WRONG. It's like magic ... IYKYK! 🫖
Keep Strolling Main Street ... North of the Railroad you will find...
Magnolia Lace Salon & Boutique is hosting renewals for Chipley Tiger 100. Show your Tiger pride and get in on the action! Their boutique is dropping all the Tiger must haves. 🐯
Believe Martial Arts will be kicking it in one of their classes - literally. Feel free to stop by and let the kiddos see what it’s all about. Just a warning: once they step in, they might not want to leave! 🥋
1901 On Main will have your drinks ready for you to take on your downtown stroll. They’re open until 10 PM, so you can keep the good times rolling even after TNL wraps up. 🍹
And if you're still reading 📖 ... You are clearly up for a fun night! So grab your sweetie 🥰, your BFF, or that cousin who always shows up uninvited 🙄 and let them third wheel while you explore downtown! Heck, you can even grab your granny 👵🏻 but it’s a lot of walking so don't forget her Roll-ator.
Just get downtown and enjoy the night! We can’t wait til 6pm!!!
And mark your calendars for the rest of the year because the fun isn't over yet!
