Youngstown to Hold Downtown Party on Oct. 19

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A years-long street reconstruction project is coming to an end, and Central Square is on the verge of reopening after the deadly explosion at Realty Tower and its subsequent demolition.

The city and its partners will throw a free, all-day bash on Saturday, Oct. 19. The event, which has been dubbed The Open, will include live music, including Red Wanting Blue as the headliner at 9:45 p.m.

The goal is to lure throngs back into the once-bustling downtown and kickstart its road back to being the entertainment mecca that it was before the pandemic and other factors left it a shadow of itself.
