Downtown First Friday events take place the first Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. January through December. Highlights of these events include shops open late, local artists and musicians, area organizations, and various happenings tied into the theme of the First Friday. Each First Friday is a celebration of our local community and an opportunity for locals, tourists, and area groups to show their support for our town, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of vibrant, historic downtown Marietta!

Plus, thanks to Artsbridge, United Way Alliance of the Mid-Ohio Valley, GoPacks and others, each First Friday features Kid Central on the lawn of the Armory with fun activities for kiddos to enjoy.

Theme description: This months theme is "Art Walk". Gather a group of friends and come downtown to enjoy shopping and dinner specials.
