About this event

Alton Main Street presents First Fridays, a late-night art and shopping experience that spans the Downtown Alton district. This event is held on the First Friday of October, November, and December from 5-8 p.m., giving you a chance to explore new shops and revisit familiar favorites, with great specials at each business.

This year’s dates are October 2nd, November 6th & December 4th!

Participants are offering a variety of discounts, refreshments, and giveaways. With every purchase, you’ll get your passport stamped for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to any participating business.
