TYLER, Texas — This Saturday, Plaza Tower will host the third annual HOT August Nights, an event that promises to unite the community through a blend of exquisite dining and local artistry. Organized by Heart of Tyler, Inc. (HOT), the evening will feature a five-course meal crafted by downtown restaurants, accompanied by a vibrant showcase of art and entertainment, all aimed at supporting the revitalization of downtown Tyler.
“This is probably one of my favorite events … I think it’s different from your average fundraiser,” said Heart of Tyler President Andy Bergfeld. “Seeing downtown come together and support downtown … the local businesses and artists, it’s a great thing to see and be a part of.”
As emcee, Tyler Mayor Don Warren will lead the festivities, which include live music, art showcases by local artists, and a live auction for attendees to purchase unique artworks. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Downtown Revitalization Program Grant, aimed at bolstering local businesses and revitalizing downtown Tyler.
