This year’s street festival will feature a special collaboration with FSU alumna and up and coming designer Beth Keener, who has crossed art and fashion to create her own style of truly wearable art. Keener has put together an art exhibit and fashion runway event at The Gatherings, 216 Monroe St., from 5 to 8 p.m. The fashion runway show begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the exhibit/fashion show are available for purchase for $7.50 at www.beth.keener.com and will be sold at the door at the event.

From 3 to 3:30 p.m. there will be a Mr. Twist Magic Show. Phil Wiseman will DJ from 4 to 4:45 p.m. and play live music from 5 to 5:45 p.m.
