First Fridays happen the first Friday of each and every month, January through December, in downtown Marietta. In 2019, First Friday events feature shops open late, local restaurants dishing out delicious food, local businesses, artists, & musicians staged throughout downtown, and unique themes each month. Grab your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and anyone you bump into in Marietta to join us every month in the heart of our community!

May's First Friday is Garden Party, featuring a return of the Marietta Derby! While the horses are racing in Kentucky, downtown will welcome races of our very own and encourage shoppers to don their biggest and boldest hats as they shop and dine downtown.
