Mingle on Main gains popularity as people return to events
SAXONBURG — Close to 1,000 people showed up on Main Street in Saxonburg Thursday evening for the Mingle on Main event.
The Saxonburg Area Business Association started Mingle on Main about six years ago to drum up excitement about local businesses.
While the vendors and local businesses are still a focus this year, many people are anticipating the monthly event for the chance to get out again after it was canceled in 2020.
“We have really been enjoying it this year,” said Laura Santora, a Saxonburg resident. “It's great to see Mingle on Main back.”
This week's Mingle on Main was the second of the season, and the second back since 2019. According to Meghan Pohl, who helped found the event, this month's event was a little slower to get started than June's.
But the volume of people in attendance Thursday was nothing short of a success.
