FIRST FRIDAY SCRANTON
First Friday art walks in Downtown Scranton are a vibrant monthly event, held on the first Friday of every month. Explore a diverse array of artistic expressions, from paintings and photography to sculpture, music, and performance art, all showcased in galleries, restaurants, cafés, and small businesses throughout the area. Many events kick off at 5:00 PM, with some venues opening at 6:00 PM, offering a full evening of creative experiences.
Whatever artistic medium you’re drawn to, each First Friday offers something new and unexpected. This cultural showcase transforms the heart of Scranton into a dynamic hub of creativity and inspiration, making it a must-attend event for art enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
