Poughkeepsie First Friday is back!
Enjoy an evening packed with music, art, food and fun! Head to Mural Square, 253 Main Street.

You are also invited to start the night early with Poughkeepsie run club, GoKeepsie! The local running crew will meet for a pre-First Friday run at 5 p.m. at Mahoney's (35 Main Street).
And that's not all... First Friday will also have:
Fire spinners
A drum circle
Crafts, games and activities
Local vendors
Food trucks
Beverages vendors
Live painting
DJ
Free yoga at 6:30 and 8 p.m. (mats provided)
Bike valet available! Ride downtown and leave your bike in good hands.
And there's more! 35-plus downtown businesses will be staying open late with special promotions, so come explore, shop, eat, drink and experience everything Downtown Poughkeepsie has to offer.
Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your dancing shoes and head to DTPK!
