First Fridays Event Series
A monthly celebration of our community’s movers and shakers, creatives and performers, and local businesses.
First Friday’s Summer season starts in May bringing with it the Market on Main, amazing dining deals, and all-day specials!
Restaurants are coming out strong with amazing dining deals that are hard to resist. Merchants are heating things up with amazing shopping deals that you won’t find anywhere else, especially since they only run for one day, on First Friday! We have more than a dozen participating storefronts downtown offering unique events, classes, and open houses, and some are staying open late to help you find the perfect purchase each First Friday! Find music, demos, cornhole, giveaways, and more from our awesome participants. This growing event is an excellent way to experience our beautiful Downtown! We encourage locals and visitors to seek out new authentic experiences through these events and enjoy Alamosa, differently. We love celebrating and bringing out the community to support all of our local makers, restaurants, and stores!
Spend an evening out on the town and take in the fun! Celebrate Alamosa! Events start at 5:00 pm (July 4th 11am).
To all the makers, creators, restaurateurs, musicians, small businesses, and all other creatives in between… this one is for you!
