Friday night will see a Bracebridge long-standing tradition continue. Midnight Madness was started by a group of merchants in the 1980s as a way to bring people out at night and have a different shopping experience.
In 2018 it will see a number of live musical acts, kids zone, street busking and all along a closed stretch of Manitoba street between Ontario Street and Taylor Road.
Tracy Larkman of the Business Improvement Area says something about Midnight Madness strikes a chord with area visitors and residents.
