Mingle on Main kicks off in Saxonburg
SAXONBURG — A large section of Main Street in Saxonburg was closed to traffic on Thursday evening for the first Mingle on Main event of the 2023 season.
A state fair-like atmosphere filled the air, as food trucks sold bratwurst, cotton candy, lemonade, hot dogs and summer confectionery.
The only vehicles running alongside Main Street on Thursday night, aside from the food trucks, were the vehicles taking part in the car cruise event. According to participant Paul Stamp, more than 120 cars took part in the cruise — many of which were restored antique cars.
"There’s no awards. It’s just a cruise. People come in and park, listen to the music and mingle,“ Stamp said.
A host of small businesses from along Saxonburg’s main street and beyond took part in the festivities, introducing themselves to a growing crowd of Saxonburg residents.
