Downtown Gadsden hosts First Friday on August 1. From 5:00 to 8:00 pm residents and visitors can explore Broad Street and beyond for dining, shopping, classic cars, live music, and the arts.

“We’re expecting another great turnout for August First Friday and want to remind everyone to be weather-aware and stay hydrated as they enjoy downtown and support our local businesses,” said Kay Moore, DGI director.

Don’t forget to include a visit to the Gadsden Museum of Art and The Mary G Hardin Center for Cultural Arts to see the great exhibits on display.
