Columbia City Connect Event
First Fridays
Experience the Best of Columbia City
Whether you're a longtime resident or a first-time visitor, there's something for everyone to be apart of. Don't miss out on the community spirit and fun this season!
Top reasons why you can't miss out on attending First Fridays!
Awesome Community Vibes: First Fridays is the perfect chance to hang out with friends, family, and neighbors. The energy is off the charts, and you’ll love seeing everyone come together.
Great Entertainment: Each month, there’s a killer lineup of music and activities. Whether you’re into Alicia Pyle & The Locals, Jailbreak, or G-Money Band, there’s something for everyone.
Delicious Food: Get ready to chow down on some seriously tasty eats. The food trucks bring a variety of delicious options, and while they might change up last minute, the local restaurants will have you covered. You won’t leave hungry!
Support Local Spots: It’s a great way to check out and support our local businesses. Many downtown shops stay open later just for the event, so you can do some shopping too.
Fun for Everyone: There’s something for all ages. From bounce houses and pony rides for the kids to a cruise-in with cool cars, it’s a fun-filled evening. With over 150 vendors, there’s plenty to see and do.
