MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – A new event called “First Fridays” is beginning in June in Middletown.
First Fridays is composed of a host of public parties in downtown Middletown this summer on the first Friday of each month. The community is invited.
The parties begin this Friday, June 1, and continue through September.
They run from 6 to 9 p.m. and feature businesses open late, local artists and artisans, live music in several locations, street food available for purchase, and a theme for each Friday:
• June 1: Middletown Community Car Show;
• July 6: Splash Zone Water Fun;
• Aug. 3: Wellness Café;
• Sept. 7: Lake County Fashion Show.
Start your evening by picking up a treasure map at the Middletown Art Center or another participating business. Follow the map to meet the artists, collect tokens and be entered in a drawing to win prizes.
On Friday, June 1, the Middletown Community Car Show will showcase local treasured cars and a People’s Choice award. The cars will be in place by 5 p.m. so you can come early to view them, talk to the owners, and vote for your favorite.
First Fridays is a collaboration of several organizations to showcase the diverse talents of our local artists and entrepreneurs and support our south Lake County economy.
First Fridays is brought to you by Phoenix Collaborative, in partnership with the Middletown Area Merchants Association, the Middletown Art Center and the Middletown Community Farmers’ Market.
