Downtown First Friday events take place the first Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. February through December. Highlights of these events include shops open late, local artists and musicians, area organizations, and various happenings around town.

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, and others, each First Friday features Kid Central on the lawn of the Armory with fun activities for kiddos to enjoy.
