Businesses located off Oak Street and downtown are encouraged to stay open and share their products with the public. It is free to be a vendor and participants are asked to pre-register by filling out the First Friday Vendor Sign Up Form at the web address above.

“First Friday has always been a wonderful community gathering,” said Katie Kadlub, CEO of Visit Hood River. “We hope to gain momentum and participation with the First Friday event series this summer to help restore the celebration the tradition provides to the community. We invite and encourage the residents and visitors alike to enjoy a delightful evening browsing our downtown area and meeting the merchants.”
The third of the summer series will be back again on Friday, Sept. 2, same time, same place, and themed “Back to School.” More information will be released closer to the date.
