The weather held out and for the seventh year, the Maplewood Village Alliance (MVA) presented Girls Night Out, one of the town’s most popular annual events, on Thursday, June 5.

Throngs of ladies — and a few men — headed for Maplewood Village to eat, drink, shop, and spend some quality time with friends. 

Over 20 participating merchants featured in-store events and special offers — everything from special discounts, signature cocktails and trunk shows to raffles, live music and more. See more at the MVA website.

Girls Night Out is sponsored by Alison Ziefert and Collette Andrews of Keller Williams Midtown Direct Realty.

This year, there were two new additions: a photo booth, and a DJ sponsored by Baker Street merchants Salvage Style and Shed.

Patrons of the event could enter to win raffle prizes, including:
