Alton Main Street and Jacoby Arts Center are partnering to present First Fridays, a late night art and shopping experience which spans 13 locations across the Downtown Alton district. This event will be held on the First Friday of each month from September through December 2021, providing you with an opportunity to check out new shops and galleries and visit familiar favorites to experience art and great specials at each business.
Participants are offering a variety of discounts, refreshments and giveaways. Everyone who has their passport stamped at each location will receive a $10 gift certificate to any participating business. Free parking is available in the lot next to Jacoby Arts Center, located at 627 E. Broadway, and a free shuttle bus will be provided from 5:00-9:00 p.m., running a continuous loop between all participating locations.
