First Fridays Event Series

A monthly celebration of our community's movers and shakers, creatives and performers, and local businesses.

First Fridays Summer Series is well underway with more fun to come for the rest of the summer! 

We have over 20 Market Vendors participating in the Market on Main in the 2023 season. 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 can’t say no to, especially since they only run for one day, on First Friday! We have more than a dozen participating storefronts downtown staying open late that are ready 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! 

So, spend an evening out on the town and take in this fun and unique celebration of Alamosa! Events start at 5:00pm. Find the Visit Alamosa team at First Fridays headquarters located at 627 Main Street. 

To all the makers, creators, restaurateurs, musicians, small businesses, and all other creatives in between... this one is for you!
