As if you needed an excuse to shop.

Bainbridge Island Downtown Association hosts its annual Girls Night Out event from noon to 9 p.m. Thursday, May 5.

Besides fantastic in-store promotions, participants will receive free Lululemon totes and 98110 charm necklaces. As they make their way to participating shops (Covet, Petit & Olsen, Plum and Sweet Deal), they can collect additional charms with every purchase.

A no-host after party at Cafe Nola begins at 9 p.m.; cap the night off with cocktails and raffle drawings.
