First Friday is a monthly, themed-event in Hubbard Woods Design District on Green Bay Road between Tower Road and Scott Avenue. As the name suggests, these events typically fall on the first Friday of the month (excluding July due to the holiday) from May–October.

Participating merchants decorate their storefronts, stay open later for extended shopping hours and provide uniquely themed snacks.

It’s a evening of shopping, art, music and fun in Hubbard Woods!
