The first Friday of each month and it's held in the Crossroads District. If the weather in nice, it will be packed .Hours are typically 5pm-9pm. It originally started as an art gallery opening night but it has grown to be a huge social event for the city. Street performers, food trucks, lots of people walking about and of course art. Very fun. Tip: Uber or Lyft there
