I love going here for first Friday! Love seeing the vast array of art work, the glass studio is AMAZING! If you are into arts & culture and even if not, you can find so many diverse cultural and artistic talents here. Makes a great date night too for a non traditional “let’s go to a bar for a beer”.

And tons of things for both adults and kids to enjoy. Thank you for this...
