First Friday

Join us in Downtown Wabash for a late night of shopping, food, live music, kids' activities and more!

Downtown Wabash will transform into the perfect fall festival on October's First Friday

Wabash Marketplace will close down Miami St. one last time for its 2021 First Friday series with live music, food trucks, a pumpkin patch and multiple vendors! 🎃 In addition to closing Miami St., downtown businesses will open their doors for extended hours with shopping deals and more for guests to enjoy. 🛍

October’s First Friday will focus on Harvest and Hops: a theme with fall-inspired activities and beer specials from local restaurants and bars. 🍂🍻

We're introducing something new to this First Friday. It's called FOOD TRUCK ROW! 🤩 Food Truck Row will feature new food trucks along the southern sidewalk of Canal St. between Miami St. and Wabash St. 🍔
