‘First Fridays’ focuses on music, shopping, dinning and fun

On the first Friday of each month in May, June, July and August the streets of downtown Elizabethton come alive for an amazing community event.

More engaging activities throughout downtown have been added, such as live demonstrations on the sidewalks, samples of new products at restaurants, and games and activities at businesses.

It is suggested that participants explore local boutiques, vintage shops and art-centric spaces as well as enjoy performances and live music in the streets throughout downtown.

First Fridays are presented by Main Street Elizabethton, City of Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department, Elizabethton-Carter County Public Library and Carter County Tourism.

Each month, Bean’s office will release information and details for each Friday event. For more information about First Fridays’ events, visit MainStreetElizabethton. com/FirstFriday or Downtown Elizabethton on Facebook to join in.
