The Joliet City Center Partnership will host a “ ’90′s Themed Ladies Night Out” on Saturday.

The downtown event includes sales, activities and entertainment, most of which starts at 4 p.m. but some of which will occur throughout the day. A schedule of events can be found on the City Center Partnership website at jolietdowntown.com/ladies.

The event is being held as many downtown streets are under construction for a number of projects that will continue for the next two years.

City Center Partnership Executive Director Priscilla Cordero encouraged people to come downtown to support businesses during the construction.

“As we continue to plan fun activities and events, we ask everyone to brave the construction and support your downtown businesses,” Cordero said in a news release. “The construction is a positive step in creating a vibrant downtown in the near future.”
