First Fridays

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!

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!

Allied Arts of Whatcom County will continue to coordinate the Children’s Art Walk in May.

Join us on the first Friday of every month from 6:00pm - 10:00pm!


For Businesses & Artists

Register for upcoming First Fridays to be included in venue guides, and receive your signature First Friday door buntings. Registration due the Monday before each First Friday.


For First Friday Goers

Find your own adventure each First Friday! To help your journey, we publish printable and digital maps each Wednesday before the event. Limited printed maps are also available at participating venues. Look for the signature colorful buntings adorning participating doorways and entrances!
