First Friday is tonight! So many great ways to enjoy Rochester and this is one of them.

Not only is First Friday a fun way to experience a lot of art in one evening, it's also like a mini Small Business Saturday every single month for art-related venues. Your participation, co-promotion, and support makes all the difference!

Small stores, restaurants, and art venues are the heartbeat of our community. This First Friday (and every First Friday after), get out there and show local small business owners and artists some love & support!

Plan your route today at firstfridayrochester.org, and make sure to check out newer First Friday venues like The Op Shop, Hinterland Studio, Stony Point Art Studio, and Rochester Fine Art Market! Also, don't forget to take photos and tag us using
