TGIFoF: Thank God It’s Fridays on Front
SUMMERTIME SIPPIN'
A trendy neighborhood block party meets bumping weekend kick-off meets fresh night market vibe.
So your summertime bucket list is long and no doubt full of killer weekend ideas. Not sure where to start off your weekends? Don’t want to blow all your hard earned cash? Feeling a little tired of the Richmond Night Market? Don’t want to trek into Vancouver?
Why not Fridays on Front, Downtown New West’s not-so-best-kept secret?! Cheap and delicious eats from food truck favorites, your pick of beer or wine (and other treats for the kiddos), live music, and artisan vendors.
As a family friendly event, scope out the coolest food dishes from our lineup of trucks on site, and stroll among New West Craft’s Artisan vendors in search of your new favorite find. Downtown’s favorite stores and shops will also be appearing to have their share in the fun.
The Arts Council of New West will also be at Fridays on Front jamming out with cool local artists putting on a show all night, every night! Talk about the perfect backdrop for your chill summer evening.
