what is first friday?
First Friday is a monthly event that openly showcases the areas local and national artists in downtown St. Augustine. Along this Art Walk, this showcase holds live entertainment and a variety of vendors allowing residents to gain a fresh perspective and alternative tastes of this place they call home.

After filling out the application, we need for you to pull together all necessary information that we will combine for a plot post. You may link us to any images, off-site links, or write up your own information. This is your creative outlet, be inspired to showcase your booth in the best way you see fit. If it is a post in your own journal, please make sure that your post is dated out of order and it is open to friends. We need this information to be dropped off here at your earliest convenience. The deadline each month will be the last Sunday of each month at 11:59pm est. If it is not received by then, we will no longer be able to secure your booth and you will have to reapply for the following month's First Friday.
