First Friday is synonymous with summertime. Across the nation, First Friday is celebrated amongst cities and towns to bring people together. For those unfamiliar with the First Fridays phenomena, it refers to the first Friday of every month, usually within the summer months. May’s First Friday was canceled due to weather, but let’s talk about what you will experience during the forthcoming Phoenixville First Fridays. 

What Happens on First Friday?

Visitors can take in the sights and sounds of downtown Phoenixville in a variety of ways. There are bands, entertainers, craft vendors, boutique stands, outdoor dining, and more. Whatever you have interest in, you’ll probably find it during First Friday. 

If you’re dining and shopping, be on the lookout for deals associated with First Friday.

These weekend events are hosted by Phoenixville First–an organization formed by several community leaders. 

The best part about Frist Friday is that everything is locally curated. From bands to sponsors, it’s a way to strengthen the community. Every vendor and entertainer participating in the event is permitted by the Phoenixville First organization.
