Each year from the months of May through September, Atwells Avenue becomes a lively European atmosphere with Al Fresco on the Hill. Experience dining Al Fresco style on Friday and Saturday nights sitting right on the avenue with 30 restaurants to choose from. Enjoy live entertainment while you sip, stroll, and people-watch along the avenue.
Participating restaurants accept reservations and we recommend making them when possible. Dining on the Avenue takes place from 5 p.m. to 12 a.m. each Friday and Saturday night. Sustained heavy rain will be the only reason to cancel the event.
