First Fridays

Stroll through historic downtown Florence the first Friday evening of each month May through December 5:30 to 8 PM with extended summer hours. (5:30-9 in June, July, and Aug) Artists and live musicians line the streets in sidewalk exhibits and performances. Restaurants, cafes, and gift shops stay open late for leisurely dinners and browsing. Only handmade items are sold including paintings, ceramics, artisans, folklife art, and much more. And did we mention live music?
