Not exactly sure as to why Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have never “done” Dancin’ in the Streets before…

Just purchased 2-General Admission Tickets and 2-Tickets to see The Outlaws at The Lyric Theatre.

“Every year Dancin’ in the Streets brings incred­i­ble energy and fun to His­toric Down­town Stu­art,” said event chair Bill Moore. “This year promises to con­tinue the tra­di­tion and deliver an amaz­ing evening of live music, danc­ing, tal­ent and com­mu­nity spirit.”

Lim­ited tick­ets for this spe­cial indoor per­for­mance by head­liner The Out­laws will be avail­able start­ing in July at The Lyric The­atre box office and online at www.lyrictheatre.com. Gen­eral admis­sion tick­ets will be avail­able start­ing in July at Sea­coast Bank loca­tions in Mar­tin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach and Indian River Coun­ties, at Sneaky Tiki, and at Kilwin’s Choco­late and Ice Cream in Down­town Stuart.

Every year, the streets of Down­town Stu­art shut down and the com­mu­nity comes out for a day of live musi­cal per­for­mances, food, drinks, ven­dors, kids activ­i­ties and of course – danc­ing in the streets! It all began in the Sum­mer of 1987, when a call was made to com­mu­nity lead­ers from the Stuart/Martin Cham­ber of Com­merce to brain­storm a fundrais­ing event that would keep the newly estab­lished Stu­art Main Street pro­gram alive. Twenty-nine years later, Down­town Stu­art is still Dancin’ in the Streets! Today, the event is pre­sented by the Down­town Busi­ness Asso­ci­a­tion of Stu­art and Stu­art Main Street. It con­tin­ues to be Down­town Stuart’s biggest fundrais­ing event, draw­ing thou­sands of peo­ple to the area each year. Funds from Dancin’ in the Streets sup­port down­town revi­tal­iza­tion efforts like out­door din­ing, the River­walk expan­sion, and free com­mu­nity events includ­ing Hob­gob­lins on Main Street, Rock’n River­walk and Christ­mas on Main Street. In the past decade alone, Dancin’ has brought nearly 65,000 peo­ple down­town and raised almost a half-million dollars.

The event also sup­ports vol­un­teer groups from com­mu­nity non-profits. In 2015 con­tri­bu­tions were made to the Humane Soci­ety of the Trea­sure Coast, the Stu­art Police Explor­ers Pro­gram, Road to Vic­tory Mil­i­tary Museum, House of Hope and Mar­tin Volunteers.
