This month, there’s a lot to do in Tryon on Thursday evenings.Through August, many Tryon shops are staying open into the evening on Thursdays.

Enjoy an evening stroll downtown, pick up fresh veggies and farm staples at the farmers market and view the artwork of local artists and craftsmen at the Art Trek Tryon exhibit from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Upstairs Artspace.

Other businesses that are staying open Thursday evenings this month include the Village Bookstore, The Book Shelf, Kathleens gallery, Tryon House and Vines and Stuff and 10 North Trade Caf. Of course, the Tryon Theatre is also open, so you can catch a movie after your stroll.
