Join us April 3rd as First Friday returns for 2026!
From 5-8pm Broad Street will be filled with classic cars, food vendors and live music.
Downtown retail shops and restaurants will stay open late to welcome attendees.

It’s a great time to enjoy a Spring evening downtown while supporting local retail shops, restaurants, and The Gadsden Museum of Art and The Cultural Arts Center.

Multiple locations along the street will feature live music performances from local and regional bands. Food vendors will provide an array of drinks and treats.

The guidelines for First Friday include no pets, no personal coolers or glass containers, no skateboards or roller blades and no advertising or fundraising.
