First Fridays return for the 2024 season on May 3, bringing back crowd-favorite features with a revamped map and location changes. This season, First Friday’s attractions will all line Madison Street and the Madison Parking Lot up to Wood Street, from 6 to 9 p.m., offering convenient access and a central situation for all the action.
“I am very excited about the new First Friday layout, because we have additional space which gives more local businesses and organizations the opportunity to participate in this great monthly community event,” says Bill Henning, president of Discover Lansdale, which stages First Fridays each year. “We are putting more effort into the family/kid zone. And we are able to have a much bigger beer-garden area that allows for live entertainment on stage, a variety of local brewers and a great selection of food vendors, together in one energetic location,” he says. “This year’s First Fridays are gonna rock,” Henning adds. New for 2024: Shop Lansdale and win! The Discover Lansdale Passport Program will award a grand prize basket worth more than $200 at each First Friday.
