Discover local artisans, makers and pop up boutiques in the Artist & Vintage Village located along the sidewalks of McCulloch near YardCity. The dense core of First Friday is right along McCulloch between Smoketree and Mulberry. 

Stroll along Main Street to find participating local merchants offering niche encounters, interactive activities, shopping, and live music and nightlife in the many bars and restaurants (Check your local bars for the current live music line up)

First Friday aims to provide a sense of value for the local artist community and the Downtown business district. As an arts festival, our goal is to promote the makers, creators, and designers of our local community by providing a space to display, sell and express their handmade works. In addition we strive to highlight and promote the awesome and diverse businesses that thrive in Downtown!

For those who wish to participate, applications for artists, musicians and volunteers can be found here.
