First Fridays is new to Greenville, Ohio. What is First Fridays? It is an event on the first Friday of the summer months to promote a social setting for the community. Businesses are open late (store until 9pm, some restaurants later) and offering demonstrations, promotions and music.

Flicks on 5th, an outdoor movie series, is also during First Fridays. The flicks will begin at dusk (approx. 8:45 pm) on East Fifth Street where a 2 story inflatable screen will be erected for a free movie showing. First Fridays has picked up momentum in downtown across the country. We are excited to bring it to Downtown Greenville, Ohio. Downtown is the place to be on First Fridays!
