First Friday is a free self-guided tour of downtown’s cultural hot spots that focuses on art, music and food.  Local art galleries, art studios and museums stay open late the first Friday of every month to welcome thousands of art-seeking enthusiasts downtown.  The event usually runs from 6 until 9pm.  Many restaurants and retailers offer First Friday specials too.

The first Friday of every month is a great way to spend an evening downtown with friends. There is always plenty to see and do there.  It’s a great way to support local artists too. For a map and complete list of all participating venues, visit the official site.  You can check out the scheduled exhibits and events there as well.

Lucky for you, First Friday is coming up next week on March 2nd.  Here’s your chance to go check it out.
