First Friday is an Allentown tradition with a once-monthly gallery walk featuring Allentown-area businesses offering extended hours and distinctive browsing and shopping experiences.
Growing over the years from a handful of galleries to dozens of venues in and around Allentown, the first Friday of each month from 6 PM to 9 PM, Allentown’s art galleries, performance artists, musicians, restaurants, retailers, and more come together to create a rich cultural attraction. Select galleries Downtown and in the Elmwood Village also participate in Allentown First Fridays.
