First
Fridays
in Downtown York

E

veryone is invited to attend First Friday in Downtown
York when stores, restaurants, galleries, and pubs
offer extended hours and specials from 5pm - 9pm
on the First Friday of every month. Presented by WellSpan
Health, First Friday is a celebration of downtown shops, eateries, cultural venues, and nightlife hotspots. More than 75
downtown shops and restaurants host special events, offer refreshments and promotions, and sponsor live entertainment.

First Friday events began in 2005 and are organized by
Downtown Inc, the nonprofit charged with promoting York
City's Central Business District.
"They've been growing exponentially since then," says Meagan
Feeser, Downtown Inc's Chief Marketing & Development
Officer.
From WeCo to the Market District to Royal Square, thousands of visitors to downtown fill the streets, shops, and
restaurants, participating in the monthly themed activities,
enjoying complimentary beer samples from Brewery Products, and celebrating all that Downtown York has to offer.
