First Friday

Join the community for Downtown York's monthly First Friday celebration, a free event that brings the historic downtown district to life. From 5 to 9 p.m., local shops, restaurants, and cultural venues open their doors with special activities, refreshments, and deals. Live entertainment fills the streets, making it easy to spend an evening exploring what downtown has to offer without spending much at all. This is a relaxed, come-as-you-are kind of evening perfect for families wanting to experience local business and culture together. Simply show up and wander at your own pace—no tickets or registration needed. If you'd like to see the full schedule of specific activities and entertainment happening that night, check the event listing for this month's details. Feel free to snap photos and tag @downtownyorkpa on social media to share your experience.
