The "Back to School Night on E. Main St" is back on 9/2/2026! Sip, savor, and shop your way around town. Have a bite and/or drink at participating businesses and do a little shopping before, after, or in between. Visit all the “core courses” (and any "extra credit") on Wed 9/2, as part of Westminster Wednesday. Get your "report card" stamped and enter a raffle for gift cards from participating businesses.
It is a progressive meal concept (with a shopping passport) where customers move from one business to another, enjoying a different course or drink at each stop and getting credit for it (see why we picked a school theme). This event is on Wed 9/2, as part of Westminster Wednesday.
This event starts at 4 PM on Wed 9/2/2026 as part of Westminster Wednesday.
This is a one-day event. You have until closing time of the participating businesses to get your stamp. Complete all the “core courses” (+ any "extra credit") and submit your report card by close of business on Wed 9/2.
This event is focused on a cluster of food/beverage businesses on E. Main St (Westminster, MD), with the addition of a few retail partners too. The "CORE COURSES" are:
Collision Course -- Take a CRASH COURSE in humanities
Covalent Spirits -- Experiment at the SCIENCE LAB
City Park Gaming and Brew Room (CPGB) -- Play PARK GAMES during recess
Liquid Library -- Study hard at the LIBRARY
If you want "EXTRA CREDIT" (one additional raffle entry for each), visit our shopping partners for books and supplies: The Shop Rebel, Cultivated, and East Main Antiques & Furnishings. PLUS, earn additional extra credit by attending an "after school concert" curated by Fine Tuned Presents (library lawn).
Report cards will be available starting at 4 PM on 9/2 at the four "core courses" businesses: CPGB, Covalent Spirits, Liquid Library, and Collision Course.
Similar to a "shopping passport" or a "pub crawl passport," you will get a stamp for every participating business you visit (and make a purchase). A completed report card means you have visited all four "core courses" businesses, and they stamped your report card. You have the OPTION to also complete "extra credit" at our retail partners. For each one you visit, you will get one additional raffle entry. For example, if your report card has stamps from:
You can submit your report card by closing time on 9/2 to any of the 4 "core courses" businesses: CPGB, Covalent Spirits, Liquid Library, and Collision Course.
No! You can visit them in whatever order you want (like designing your own class schedule).
Maybe...each participating business will decide what they want to offer that day. Please check their websites and social media pages for more info.
Raffle will be drawn by Fri 9/5. We will contact you if you win. Make sure your name and contact info are legible on your report card.
Grand prize raffle is for a $100 gift card bundle ($25 gift card to each of the four "core courses" businesses).
