First Fridays Return!

May 21, 2024

A Canton summer favorite makes a huge comeback.

An enthusiastic crowd showed up in numbers as 'The Rupert's Orchestra' gave a high-energy performance to open 2024's First Friday season!

Something for everyone.

On the first Friday of every month, May through October, Historic Downtown Canton's Main Street shuts down for one of Canton's most anticipated annual traditions.

First Friday is a Canton staple for a reason - there's something for everyone to enjoy. Car enthusiasts are treated to a classic car cruise-in, foodies can't get enough of the diverse selection of good eats from local restaurants and vendors, and of course, there's the music! Covering an array of genres throughout the season, the 2024 First Friday music lineup will have you singing and dancing in the heart of Historic Downtown Canton all season long!

This year, soccer fans were treated with a special appearance by Georgia Impact's WPSL team, who helped "kick off" this year's First Friday festivities on May 3. Be sure to catch their home opening match on June 1!

Community spirit.

One of our favorite aspects of First Friday is the radiant community spirit. Residents and visitors alike gather to celebrate what makes Canton special. It’s a time to catch up with neighbors, support local businesses, make new friends, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere and tight-knit community that defines our town. This deep-rooted sense of belonging makes First Friday not just an event, but a cherished tradition that brings our community closer together each month. You'll leave with a smile that will stick with you long after the night's over.

We're just getting started.

Can't wait until the next First Friday? Neither can we! The 2024 First Friday schedule is stacked with amazing artists (and special surprises) you won't want to miss, including Jimmy Buffett tribute A1A, CMA winner and Grand Ole Opry member Mark Wills, 70s rock revival The Troubadour Project, Departure: The Journey Tribute Band, and On The Border - the ultimate Eagles Tribute!
