The summer is a great time to spend outside having fun with friends and family, especially at night when the day cools down and the sunlight changes to stars and streetlights. In Haddonfield, ladies can enjoy their weeknight with family and friends in the downtown area for the first summertime “Girls’ Night Out!” event.
The Partnership for Haddonfield will once again host “Girls’ Night Out!” featuring a fun-filled night of shopping, dining and relaxing on Thursday, July 23 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. “Girls’ Night Out!” is a free event for ladies to enjoy in-store discounts, food and music by DJ Frank Staff at Kings Court and Haddy Lane.
“It’s a nice, festive time in town, and I think it will be a fun summer night,” said Remi Fortunato, retail recruiter for the Partnership for Haddonfield.
“Girls’ Night Out!” has been going on for more than five years in Haddonfield, usually twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. It was started as a fun way for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, sisters and friends to enjoy a special night together while dining, shopping and enjoying downtown promotions.
For downtown Haddonfield, this is the first time the event is taking place during mid-summer.
“The retail shops were thinking it would be nice to have a mid-week break for ladies during the summer. Usually, people go to the Shore for the weekend; this is an added thing to do while you’re home during the week,” Fortunato said.
This summertime ladies event is free for women of all ages.
“There is no age limit. I’ve taken my 13 year old and they have candy and stuff for them as well,” Fortunato said.
Stores on Ellis Street, Kings Court, Mechanic Street, Shops at 116 Kings Highway and Tanner Street are participating. Sales include discounts, percentages off, complimentary refreshments and services.

“They are offering some really great specials,” Fortunato said.
The event isn’t just about the shopping, though. It includes dining at local eateries and enjoying music from the DJ, while spending time with family and friends, of course.
“It’s a fun, party atmosphere as you shop from store to store,” Fortunato said.
Fortunato’s favorite part of the night is seeing the streets come alive with women and seeing everyone socializing. She hopes those who come take away not only good deals, but realize Haddonfield is a great place to be and shop.
“I hope they see it not just as ‘Girls Night Out!,’ but what a great town it is,” Fortunato said.
