It’s open: Lock Haven’s pedestrian mall starts its warm-weather run

LOCK HAVEN, PA – 3 p.m. Friday marked the start of Downtown Lock Haven’s Main Street Pedestrian Mall. The downtown group had hoped to start the popular Main Street program on May 7, but had to delay the start-up until a final clearance came from the Federal Highway Administration. The FHA okay came down on Monday of this week and E. Main Street was blocked off from vehicular traffic Friday as of 3 p.m., to stay that way until 10 p.m. Saturday.

The pedestrian mall will not be every weekend during the summer. Mall dates are to include this weekend and next weekend in May; then the second and fourth weekends in June; the second and fifth in July; the second and fourth in August; and all four weekends in September.

A variety of special events will be incorporated during many of those weekends. These include the first Lock Haven summer concert series presentation on Friday, June 25 at the Main/Grove Street stage, featuring the Lindy Sisters.
