First Friday

The First Friday of each month has long been a cornerstone of Troutdale’s art community and the businesses in our downtown. For nearly 20 years, the First Friday Art Walk has brought people together to experience what Troutdale has to offer. The event runs throughout the year inside Troutdale's galleries, businesses, and restaurants.

During the summer months, the First Friday Art Walk expands into the street with dozens of vendors, sidewalk dining, live music at Mayors Square, a Kid Zone, and much more! If you are interested in being a First Friday vendor this year, the window to apply for a spot is now open.

In 2024, these expanded First Friday experiences will take place on:

• June 7
• July 5
• August 2
• September 6
