Welcome to First Friday Raleigh

First Friday

First Friday is celebrated on the first Friday of each month at locations throughout Downtown Raleigh. Art galleries and studios are open late with rotating exhibits and artist talks. Exhibitors feature artists, music, and special offers. Retailers offer deals and refreshments. And restaurants feature First Friday-only specials. There's something and somewhere for everyone.

Thank you to all who joined us for September's Virtual First Friday. We have videos and photography from local artists and entertainers including musical performances, digital photography, and a sculpture demonstration on our Virtual First Friday page. See the page for more information on each artist. Stay tuned for information on October First Friday.
