About this event:

First Friday returns to downtown Gadsden on May 1, following a fantastic kickoff event last month. Broad Street will once again come alive with classic cars, delicious food vendors, live music, shopping, and family-friendly fun.

Broad Street will close to traffic at approximately 3:30 p.m., with festivities beginning at 5:00 p.m. and continuing until 8:00 p.m. Downtown retail shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues will stay open late to welcome visitors. It’s also the perfect opportunity to shop locally for Mother’s Day gifts.

The live music lineup for the evening includes: Cross Camp Cowboy Band at 2nd and Broad; Wesley & Aaron at 3rd & Broad, The Tease at 4th and Broad, and Big Martha Band at 5th and Broad.

The guidelines for First Friday include no pets, no personal coolers or glass containers, no skateboards or roller blades and no advertising or fundraising.
