First Fridays

Downtown Lancaster, 5-9pm
Lancaster's First Fridays are an exhilarating celebration of the arts! Every month, without exception, we showcase the arts in downtown Lancaster. Walk around and explore our 70+ arts venues. You'll find new exhibitions, live music, theatrical performances, artist receptions, and fun surprises, too. And, our thriving urban center is also home to unique boutiques and outstanding restaurants. First Fridays are a great time to experience the beauty of the City and all that the arts community has to offer. Gather your friends and family, and join us every First Friday, 5-9pm. You're bound to meet old acquaintances and new visitors from places like Philadelphia and Baltimore. FREE.
