Party On The Patio is been a summer tradition in Huntington for many years. One Friday night a month Heritage Station fills with people, live music and great food. Friday July 17, 2015 starting at 7 p.m. Party On The Patio presents Larry Whitt and Blue Eyed Soul.

Kevin Brady, the Executive Director of the Greater Huntington Park and Recreational District, expresses that the goal behind Party On The Patio is to not only entertain the people of Huntington, but to showcase the local businesses located at Heritage Station.

“The Party On The Patio serves 2 goals; first, to provide the community with an Arts & Cultural experience that includes performances by groups of local and regional musician and bands,” Brady said, “And secondly, to expose the community to the various shops and local businesses within Heritage Station.”

Heritage Station is home to many locally owned and operated stores such as Sip Wine Bar, Let’s Eat Café, All About You Hair Salon, Birds Of A Feather Boutique, Brand Yourself, Summer Beer Station, and many more.

“Typically the businesses at Heritage Station will stay open late during the Party On The Patio, and will often host their own “Open House” so visitors can come in and browse,” Brady said.

Party On The Patio has faced declined attendance rates this summer because of the chaotic weather. Brady explains that the outdoor events have struggled to dodge the threatening weather and rainfall.

Guests attending Party On The Patio will be able to enjoy live music from Larry Whitt and Blue Eyed Soul, along with food featuring items from The Wedge, and a vast selection of beverages. Coca-Cola products will be served as well as a variety of craft and domestic beers on tap.

“Larry Whitt and his band will create a jammin’ good time filled with great southern rock and soulful blues,” Brady said, “A Party On the Patio is a great evening out for people to enjoy some great food from Wedge, including their signature Mac & Cheese, Brisket Mac & Cheese and pulled Pork Nachos! Plus, Ice Cold Coca-Cola products, and Ice Cold Beer on tap.”
