It's First Friday - June 5, 2026 and we thank our series sponsor Home Genius Exteriors! The main event time runs from 6pm-9pm. Bands / music on the street ends at 10pm sharp. We ask that if you are not in a restaurant by 11pm to please work with the police and exit the street area as roads begin opening back up. All of the restaurants and bars at this point in time are at capacity, so we ask that you please leave the area to help us avoid crowd congestion.

Official First Friday event time: 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
9:30 p.m. - Last call for on-street alcohol sales.
10:00 p.m. - On-street alcohol sales end. Bands finish with their sets.
10:30 p.m. - *CHANGE FOR 2026* On-street consumption of alcohol ends, no more, nada, guzzle it (responsibly...).

Here's where we need your help! If you're drinking, you must remain/return to inside a restaurant or bar (as occupancy permits), otherwise you must discard your drink and clear the streets. Please do not cause trouble and hassle the restaurants/bars! They're at capacity, DO NOT try and force your way in, don't be that knucklehead that ruins it for everyone - please?

11:00 p.m. - Heads up! Center Street begins re-opening...
Again, important note: At 10:30pm restaurants and bars are at capacity. This year we are asking that if you are not inside an establishment at 10:30pm, that you please help us, help the businesses, and help the police, by kindly exiting the downtown area so that the streets can be reopened safely and without incident.

As always, remember this is a DORA event (Designated Outdoor Refreshment area) which means, you purchase a drink from a participating establishment and may walk around town with your drink - as long as it's in the designated cup that you will be provided. No outside coolers, bottles, cans, etc. - let's keep it fun (and safe)!
