Hosted at Railroad Square - THE place to go to support creative LOCAL businesses!

First Fridays @ Railroad Square is a recurring monthly event, and a long-time favorite of Tallahassee residents.
All are invited to come enjoy a lively yet relaxed evening of perusing open galleries and creative micro-businesses, sampling local food, and connecting with our unique community.

There is so much to experience at Railroad Square! From vintage and antiques, to specialty stores and fine art, a non-profit theater, an authentic pinball arcade, a non-profit bookstore, a cult cinema…there’s truly something for everyone!

You should come to First Friday if you like:
- One-of-a-kind Community Atmosphere
- Delicious food and beverages, like Halisi Africa, Flamingoz, Reggae Rails, numerous food trucks, and more!
- Creative local goods
- Music
- Some of the best people watching in the city

*Wear walking shoes! Roads close by 6pm to ensure pedestrian safety. After that time, you will need to park along FAMU Way or another location and walk (or call a Capital City PediCab!). We encourage carpooling and drop-offs.

*First Friday happens RAIN OR SHINE. Even if it rains, the rain almost never lasts the whole evening...so come on out!
