First Friday is getting hotter! Each first Friday of the month, we celebrate downtown with an arts party unlike any other! Our incredible restaurants always have something special cooking on the menu, and the art galleries and studios are open for your enjoyment and shopping. First Friday is great for all ages, we have lots of activities for couples and families alike. If the weather has kept you away, it’s time to mark your calendar for an incredible summer line up downtown!
We’re swinging back to life and moving outdoors on May 1 with a Spring Fling celebration. Grab your sweetheart and take her out on the town! First Friday is the perfect date night any time of the year, but while spring is in the air, come out and make it special!
On June 5 come experience Jumpin’ June – a look at movement and yes, you guessed it: jumping and dancing in the streets. Live music abounds outside and we’ll have a grand time hopping into summer.
July 3 is the Chalk the Walk First Friday! Come be dazzled by incredible sidewalk artistry. See masters of the arts and lots of local art folks too, all creating beautiful pieces on a sidewalk canvas. Bring the kids – there will be chalk for everyone!
On August 7 be prepared to celebrate the Hound Dog Days of Summer. You’ll have a hunka hunka burning good time! Come see who’s King! Plus, pooches abound in the street parade, all gussied up in their First Friday best.
