First Fridays happen the first Friday of each and every month, January through December, in downtown Marietta. In 2019, First Friday events feature shops open late, local restaurants dishing out delicious food, local businesses, artists, & musicians staged throughout downtown, and unique themes each month. Grab your friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, and anyone you bump into in Marietta to join us every month in the heart of our community!

September's First Friday is the first day of the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival. Enjoy extended shopping hours, special promotions and activities throughout all of downtown.
