First Fridays is a monthly celebration that showcases local artists and galleries, places to dine and sip, late night shopping, events, live music, and more! Join us on the first Friday of every month from 6:00pm - 10:00pm.
With fresh programming each month, First Fridays provide opportunities to engage with Downtown Bellingham and discover the city center throughout the year. Dozens of businesses host artists, feature signature dishes, become a stage for musicians, and more!
May First Friday coincides with Children’s Art Walk hosted by Allied Arts of Whatcom County. It’s a great night to experience Downtown!
