The Daytona Beach Downtown First Friday Festival, presented by the Daytona Beach Partnership Association, the Art Promenade and Concert in the Park series, is a downtown revival that transforms the Beach Street shopping strip into a series of galleries for local artists to exhibit work. Folks can talk shop, wander and watch artist demonstrations and listen to local bands play at Riverfront Park.
First Fridays showcase existing businesses and available retail locations that lend out display space. It also makes art more accessible to everyday people by providing space for artists to show their work.
If you missed yesterday's fun, it included paintings and sculptures from the Art League of Daytona Beach, works from the Museum of Arts and Sciences and the Southeast Museum of Photography from Daytona State College, and music by the Halifax Contraband, a folksy swamp music band that weaves tales of Florida history into song.
The festival attracts all ages, but more in their 20's and 30's, who are learning about the local arts scene. Plan on attending June 3 - here's the information from News-Journal Online:
