Feb. First Friday on Roosevelt Row

At the center of this monthly event — which continues to evolve and grow as a signature downtown attraction — is the vitality and diversity of the city’s urban arts community, which showcases a multicultural range of creativity and artistic expression that appeals to art enthusiasts of every medium and flavor. Aptly named, this event invites vendors, musicians, and artists of all varieties out into the streets (many of which are closed off to traffic) for an evening where the essence of downtown Phoenix’s arts and culture can be seen, felt, heard, and tasted throughout more than 70 galleries, venues, art-related spaces, and surrounding bars, restaurants and food trucks.
