May First Friday at Home: Hope in Bloom

Downtown First Friday events take place the first Friday of every month from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. January through December. Highlights of these events include shops open late, local artists and musicians, area organizations, and various happenings tied into the theme of the First Friday.

Each First Friday is a celebration of our local community and an opportunity for locals, tourists, and area groups to show their support for our town, have fun, and enjoy the beauty of vibrant, historic downtown Marietta!

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to physically gather downtown in the heart of our community BUT thanks to the dedication of community leaders, nonprofit champions, volunteers, business owners and more, we’re bringing you 12 hours of First Friday at Home chock full of local music, kiddo activities, stories of adaptation and messages of encouragement.

Join us on Facebook from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 1st or right here on this web page to access videos, activities and more as we strive to bring our community together virtually! This is #MyMarietta and even when the going gets tough, we come together to uplift our friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors.
