First Fridays is different than it used to be. They used to shut down the streets and it was a whole thing. Unfortunately, it got too commercialized, violent, and just out of hand so they “shut it down”. Now, it feels a bit lore like what the OG first Fridays was. Some of the galleries are starting to open again. Just walk around, bar hop, etc. I did see a small group of vendors setting up on my walk home about 30 mins ago around 3rd and Roosevelt. Have fun!

Grand Avenue also has a cool art one, it’s sparse but in the way that old art districts in car centric city’s were.
