Often the “Star of the Show” - guests appreciate the wide-open spaces to explore. The 200,000 square foot, historic Starline Factory building was built over 100 years ago. Today it provides a great space to safely distance while visiting the events, dining, shopping, and more!

Dine outside at the Terrace Grill or inside at the Stanchion Pub. Both restaurants offer a variety of food and drink specials. The 4th Friday Buffet Special is a big hit for attendees of the event. Drinks are also available at a variety of bars throughout the building on 4^th Friday evenings.

Guests of the 4^th Friday's Event can enjoy 3 or more great musical performers or bands throughout the evening. The September 24 event will host Karen Shook on the main stage and Natalie Whalen in the 306 Loft. Stephen Schuch will also be joining us on the piano in the Terrace Grill / Railside, along with Loriann Bowdish in the Skylight Loft.
