First Friday on Main Street is tonight in Downtown Medford

First Fridays are back!

On the first Friday of each month, Main Street businesses will stay open later, offer specials, host activities, and give residents another reason to spend an evening exploring Downtown Medford. (As if you need more reasons to love our downtown?)

This month's First Friday takes place tonight - Friday, June 5, and businesses throughout town are joining in.

Looking to tap into your creative side? Ted's Terrain will have a floral hoop workshop station available all day, giving visitors the chance to create their own custom piece for $45.

At Sympathy Magick, a new business at 45 South Main Street - guests who spend $25 or more will receive a free 10-pack of artisanal incense, a $9 value. It's a perfect opportunity to browse their unique collection of crystals, gifts, and metaphysical items while picking up a little bonus.

For those looking to shop, My Town Swag is offering 10% off purchases, while The Shoppes at Medford Mill will feature vendor specials throughout the marketplace.

Need a little self-care? The Well at Medford, another new biz on Main St, is offering a 14-day free trial with a monthly plan for visitors interested in their infrared sauna or Energy Enhancement System.

Several local favorites will also be open and welcoming visitors throughout the evening. Braddock's Tavern will have its kitchen serving until 9:30 PM and the pub open until 11 PM. Farm Truck Brewing will be pouring beer from noon to 10 PM and hosting live music starting at 6 or 7 PM.

If you're looking for some friendly fun Lower Forge Brewery will be open from noon to 10 PM with karaoke kicking off at 7 PM, plus two special anniversary beers brewed to celebrate their 10th anniversary: "Big Decade Energy"

For something sweet, Jenni's Goodies will be open until 8 PM and offering a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal on identical items. Aloha Bowls will be serving smoothies with $1 off each purchase and staying open until 8 PM.

And if you haven't visited yet, Charlemagne East is celebrating its Grand Opening at 6 North Main Street, making First Friday the perfect time to stop by and welcome a new business to downtown.

The goal of First Fridays is simple: support local businesses, discover someplace new, and spend a summer evening enjoying everything Main Street has to offer.

We'll see you downtown.
