Meet Our Friends of First Friday

First Friday with the Arts takes place on the First Friday of the month. This event uplifts local businesses and organizations! First Friday will sometimes include stamp cards or other incentives to visit our Friends of First Friday. A business or organization who is a Friend of First Friday is a member of the Arts Council who is dedicated to growing a strong community in Downtown Cape. Our Friends of First Friday often stay open for the full First Friday hours, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM, so everyone gets the chance to celebrate after work or school. Many businesses offer a fun activity, refreshments, or even live music!
