First Friday

First Friday is an event held each month on, you guessed it, the First Friday of the month from 5 PM – 8 PM!

First Friday is an opportunity to shop late at local participating businesses, see what’s new in the local galleries, and cap it all off with a bite to eat and some entertainment!
