The First Friday of every month is an opportunity for Gettysburg's local businesses to host special open house receptions. The event is focused primarily in the Gettysburg's rich historic district. Typically about 25 different businesses participate. The participating businesses will be denoted with the First Friday flag.
Many of the businesses will have special guests like artists, authors, and so on. The open house style of this event also lends itself to refreshments to include wine and cheese in some venues. Many of the businesses will also extend their hours on First friday (until 8pm).
This weekend each month brings additional people into town to support local business. I hope to have a more in depth outlook on First Friday next month. There is little information or pictures available on the web. On top of the opportunities at the shops some of the local bars/restaurants are very crowded afterward to enjoy Gettysburg's social scene.
The Blue Parrot Bistro is certainly a favorite of the First Friday crowd. They feature art from various artists and are a participant of First Friday. Come to Gettysburg and check it out.
