Nights

Dog Days of Summer returns to Downtown Brandon on June 24, 2026 | 6:00–9:00PM, bringing back one of our most tail-wagging summer traditions for its 4th year. 

This family- and pet-friendly evening celebrates all things canine with games, music, shopping, and community fun—plus a big decision to be made for our four-legged citizens. It’s also the 3rd year of the Brandon Dog Mayor, and while Tito has served our wagging-tail community well, his term is officially up June 23rd! 

Who will be the next Dog Mayor of Brandon? 

Come cast your vote and cheer on pups as they strut their stuff in the Dog Costume Contest, parading in front of Good Boy Po’boys. The night will feature a Downtown Farmers Market from 5–8PM, live music by the Patrick Harkins Band, extended shopping and dining, and plenty of space to gather with friends— two-legged and four-legged alike. 

Whether you’re campaigning for mayor, shopping local, or just soaking up summer vibes, Dog Days of Summer is a can’t-miss 042 Nights celebration on Brandon’s Main Street.

Boo! 042

Boo!042 returns to Downtown Brandon on October 22 from 5:30–8:30 PM, bringing back one of Brandon Main Street’s most loved fall traditions for its sixth year. This family-friendly Halloween event invites the community to gather on Main Street for a safe, festive evening filled with costumes, candy, and classic fall fun.

The highlight of the night is the Costume Parade at 7:00 PM, held in front of Good Boy Po’boys, where kids can proudly show off their creative costumes. Throughout the evening, families can enjoy free business-to-business trick-or-treating at business tents and participating downtown storefronts, along with complimentary crafts, carnival-style games, and interactive activities across the district.

A professional photo booth will be on site to capture photos of children in costume, creating a keepsake families will cherish long after the night ends. With a DJ, bubble machines, music, and nonstop energy, Boo!042 is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween together in the heart of Downtown Brandon.

Costumes encouraged. Candy guaranteed. Community celebrated.
