Downtown Midland

*Hours may vary as this event runs during the operating hours of each individual businesses*

Every Thursday from June 5- August 28

What better way than to having some extra time to shop, dine, and socialize after work on Thursday’s? During the summertime, Thursday’s is officially a part of the weekend in Downtown Midland!

Weekend-Warm-Up gives everyone a chance to come downtown after work to relax, shop around, eat at one of our many delicious restaurants, and socialize. This is made possible by the downtown businesses’ commitment to our community by extending their hours over the summer season. Not only will businesses be open later, but there will also be exciting events taking place every Thursday night that you won’t want to miss!
