How the Social District Works
Adults 21 and over can purchase alcoholic beverages from participating businesses and enjoy them while strolling through the square in the designated areas marked with clear signage throughout Downtown Danville.
The District operates daily from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., making it easy to enjoy everything from a casual afternoon outing to an evening with friends.
Social District Cups
There are four participating businesses where you can purchase beverages in the approved Social District cups. They include Frank’s Place, Central Normal Tap, Mokey’s and Two Guys Pies.
When you purchase drinks at one of these locations, make sure you ask for the designated Social District cup if you plan to walk around while enjoying your beverage.
Boost For Danville Businesses
Local businesses are already seeing the potential. Taryn Stewart with Mokey’s on the Square shared: “I feel it is a great addition to the square. It will allow customers to socialize and gather not just in the restaurants but in our amazing alleyways!”
With so much to see and do around the square, especially during events, this new district should provide even more reason for locals and residents to eat, drink and socialize downtown.
When to Visit
Downtown Danville is already home to great local businesses, including shops, restaurants and bars. Many of those businesses are closed on Mondays, but most other days and evenings are great times to visit.
But perhaps the best time to enjoy the square is during signature events, including:
- Danville Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, May through September
- First Friday Cruise-Ins on the first Friday of every month, May through September
- Destination Danville in early June
- Concerts on the Square, various dates throughout the summer
- Fair on the Square in September
- Christmas on the Square, the day after Thanksgiving
