Downtown Wabash WILL CONCLUDE THE 2021 First Friday SEASON with DECEMBER'S first Friday and a Cookie WalK

Wabash Marketplace, Inc. is excited to bring people to Downtown Wabash for the final First Friday of 2021 in December! In the midst of Thanksgiving, holiday shopping, Christmas and the New Year, December’s First Friday will bring more holiday cheer with small business shopping deals, holiday treats, hot cocoa, photo opportunities & more.

This First Friday, the Cookie Walk will debut in Downtown Wabash for a chance to win a holiday-themed gift basket, specially curated by Wabash Marketplace! Participants will venture through Downtown to sample nine delicious holiday treats from Modoc's Market, Wabash County Museum, Lighthouse Mission, Ohh My! Cakes, Wabash Marketplace, 4 Partners in Crime, Living Well Downtown, JoJo's Olfactory and Kaleigh M Photography. The stamping map for the Cookie Walk can be found on the back of the First Friday flier.
