Every First Friday of the Month from May-October, 2012

Each year, downtown Hood River welcomes visitors to an evening of shopping, entertainment, and community gathering at their First Friday events. Held on the First Friday of every month from May-October, this special evening runs from 5:00 -7:00 pm, with stores open late and festivities, specials, and activities held up and down the main streets of downtown. Shop for local goods, do a little wine tasting, and enjoy a great meal or some of the best coffee in the NW. Then relax to local music, see art from around the Gorge, and stroll the streets with locals and out-of-towners alike. Hood River First Fridays are a regional social event that delights both young and old, families, art lovers, culinary enthusiasts, and those who love any excuse to spend an evening in Hood River.

Dates (all Friday): May 4 June 1 July 6* August 3* September 7* October 5*

On First Fridays in July, August, and September, we close the main streets to traffic so visitors can stroll the streets of beautiful downtown Hood River. Business Owners, Artists, and participating Non-Profit Organizations, download
