First Friday Scranton

06/18/2026

We listened to your feedback and we've decided that First Friday July will look a little different this year.

Due to the many events happening over America's 250th birthday weekend, there will be no official "map" this month. Some of our downtown venues will still have FF events on the 3rd, some will have events on the 10th, and some all month long.

We will be promoting these events via our Facebook and Instagram pages/stories, so please keep an eye out on our socials to make sure you don't miss anything!
