THANK YOU, Modesto Police Department!
Downtown Modesto Partnership is grateful to the Modesto Police Department for sponsoring our First Friday Markets and investing in the community we call home.

It takes the support of dedicated community partners like the MPD and the participation of our neighbors to make these events special and stand out - which is what we love about our First Friday Markets.

Thank you again MPD and let’s keep showing up for Downtown Modesto and for another.

See you next season. 💙

What a season! ✨

We wrapped up another First Friday Market season in Downtown Modesto, and we want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who helped make these nights so special.

To all of our amazing vendors, small businesses, nonprofits, musicians, dancers, skaters, volunteers, partners, sponsors, and community members, thank you for showing up and bringing so much energy to downtown.

And to everyone who came out to shop, eat, dance, skate, listen to music, discover something new, or simply spend an evening with your community; you are what makes First Friday what it is.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who helped make each market feel uniquely Downtown Modesto.

Cheers to the people who make downtown feel like a place to connect and celebrate. We’ll see you next season!

Thank you, Downtown Modesto! ❤️

Meet Mouthfeel Wines at our Final First Friday Market of the Season.

We’re thrilled to showcase Mouthfeel Wines as we close out the season, and trust us, you’re going to want to taste what they’re pouring.

A delicious Albariño (White)
A diverse Red Blend (Red)

Winemaker and owner Jenny Lynn bring decades of Napa Valley winemaking experience to every bottle, along with a refreshingly bold approach.

Their wines are clean, balanced, lower-alcohol, and made without unnecessary additives, with plenty of attention paid to texture, balance, energy, and, of course, that all-important mouthfeel.

Come meet the makers, sip something delicious, and spend our final First Friday of the season with us in Downtown Modesto.

And remember we have the most amazing market where you can shop, eat, drink, listen to music, skate, dance, and most of all celebrate the final First Friday of the season with us! ❤️

DoMo First Fridays is almost here! And we are so looking forward to it! Even though it may be a rainy day today the forecast is projected to be a sun shiny day next Friday. 😎

We have been cooking up some surprises for each First Friday, and we are happy to announce that our beloved Stanislaus Library will be having a booth in the kid’s corner next to Camp Jack Hazard starting in June and until the end of the season (last one falls on October 2nd)!

They will be having something exclusive at each First Friday. For this one coming up June 5th, they will be having a bird scavenger hunt and STEAM bird watching kits! 🦉🦆🦜Oh my, what fun it will be. If you know of any nature loving kiddos, make sure to bring them along with you so that they can partake in all the kid’s corner magic. ✨

See you all soon!
