6 Brick’s, White Lion Brewing Co. Team Up to Host Flower Fridays

SPRINGFIELD — White Lion Brewing Co. and 6 Brick’s cannabis dispensary have teamed up to host Flower Fridays, an event featuring craft beer, infused vibes, and live music, all in the heart of Tower Square Park. The objective of this Friday series of events is to draw people back to Springfield’s downtown. The event will launch on Friday, June 27 from 5 to 8 p.m.

The event is organized by Ray Berry, founder and owner of White Lion Brewing, and Payton Shubrick, founder and owner of 6 Brick’s.

“Ray and I have businesses on Main Street, Springfield. Our two respective family businesses work hard to bring folks to our downtown. We appreciate the efforts of the city of Springfield and business groups to do the same, but we believed we could do more, and we are,” Shubrick said.

Berry has developed a series of events on the Tower Square Park location already. He has organized pop-up beer gardens on White Lion Wednesdays and improved community engagement by hosting curated social events. In the park, he has held gatherings and hosted luncheons with local vendors, showcasing his community-minded spirit and entrepreneurial leadership.

Parking is available at the Tower Square Parking Garage, located at 1758 East Columbus Ave. Parking can be validated at White Lion, and street parking is also available. Live music and beats will be provided by DJ Onyx. Attendees must be at least 21 years old to participate.

“Flower Fridays is an exciting new opportunity led by two Black-owned businesses, and it’s more than just an event — it’s a celebration of the talent, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit that drive our downtown” Shubrick said. “We need more energy and activity in the heart of Springfield, especially on a Friday evening. This event is a decisive step toward creating a vibrant, inclusive downtown with support from our brand partners, Fernway and Rove. I hope to see you there.”
