May First Friday kicks off Carbondale’s summer season of events on May 1, featuring extended hours and events at shops, galleries, restaurants, plus outdoor food trucks and street activities and games offered by community booths.
The warmer months create a larger event footprint throughout town, and a longer closure of Main Street. We could really use some help pretty please. Support First Friday by volunteering! The shifts are short, the gratitude is deep, and the staff is fun :)
