Help with placing a listing in Racine

Swept in from the pub

1) Would this be a listing or a "blurb" and 2) where would I put it (eat, see, do, buy?)

• First Fridays, 100 Monument Square. 4PM to 9PM on the first Friday of the month, April to December. Local businesses in the downtown area host an event on the first Friday of the month. The main road through downtown is blocked off and turned into a pedestrian zone. In addition to the shop's sidewalk sales, there is live music in Monument Square and often stores will have a musician or band playing in front of them. You can gain free admission to the downtown's museums. Food trucks and the nearby restaurants have specials or promotions. Visit their website to see the band line-up, specials, and whether any special activities or demonstrations have been scheduled. (updated Sep 2018)

Obviously any assistance with wording and such is appreciated as well DethDestroyerOfWords (talk) 14:19, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

It's an event, so wycsi says it should be listed in the Do section. ϒpsilon (talk) 14:41, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Ah! I missed that. Thank you for your help! DethDestroyerOfWords (talk) 14:48, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Just a minute, though. Is this maybe like an outdoor market type of thing? I mean, do people go there primarily to shop? If so, it should go in the "Buy" section. Thanks. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 16:06, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Yep, notice in what part of the article this outdoor market listing can be found. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 16:12, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

If it's mainly a market, yes, then it should be listed in Buy. But if the market part is just a part of the event, then list it in Do. ϒpsilon (talk) 16:18, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

This is what is what is confusing. Some background: the event is sponsored by the businesses(both restaurants and stores) as a way of getting more foot traffic. It's taken a life of it's own and now it has more a festival feel with live music and sometimes activities and free admission to the museums. It's not a festival like a once a year kind of thing (it happens every month) but it's also not necessarily a market. Most people who go do so to eat food and shop while drunk and listening to live music. DethDestroyerOfWords (talk) 18:31, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Then it sounds like "Do" to me. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 18:33, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Yup, definitely a Do listing. ϒpsilon (talk) 18:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
