Thanks
to all participating downtown Florence businesses for making the
inaugural First Friday in Florence a success!
Despite a late afternoon thunderstorm, shoppers, artists and merchants
took part in our inaugural First Fridays in Florence event. Hundreds
gathered in the downtown streets of historic Florence, Alabama
to experience an evening filled with fine art, crafts and music.
Please
mark you calendars and join us for our next gathering September
