SUMMARY:November First Friday - Give Back. Shop Local.
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the holiday shopping season with a night that celebrates community\, giving back and supporting local! \nFrom 4–9 p.m.\, Downtown Racine will come alive for a special First Friday focused on everything that makes our downtown community so special — our locally owned businesses\, our neighbors and the spirit of giving. \n🧣 GIVE BACK: Warm Accessories Drive \nHelp us spread a little warmth this season! We’ll be collecting new or gently used scarves\, hats\, gloves and mittens to benefit the Hospitality Center and members of our community who need them most. \nBring your donations downtown during First Friday and help us fill the collection boxes! Drop-off locations throughout Downtown Racine will be announced soon. \nA simple pair of gloves or a warm hat can make a meaningful difference as colder Wisconsin weather arrives. \n🎁 SHOP LOCAL: Start Your Holiday Shopping Early! \nSkip the big-box stores and start checking off that holiday shopping list right here in Downtown Racine. \nOur locally owned shops\, boutiques and galleries will be open late\, giving you plenty of time to explore and find gifts you simply won’t find everywhere else — local art\, clothing\, home décor\, specialty items\, handmade goods and more. \nEvery purchase you make downtown supports a small business owner who has invested in our community. Shop small. Shop local. Give something unique. \nAnd why wait until December? Get a jump-start on your holiday shopping while enjoying a fun Friday night downtown! \n🎶 MAKE A NIGHT OF IT \nLive music will fill downtown throughout the evening\, providing the perfect soundtrack as you shop\, dine\, explore and enjoy everything Downtown Racine has to offer. \nAnd because we’re embracing all things cozy\, wear your favorite flannel! Break out the plaid\, bundle up and enjoy the fall atmosphere as we celebrate another First Friday together. \nAs always\, expect a few surprises along the way as our downtown businesses help make the evening their own. \nGive back. Shop local. Support small businesses. And start the holiday season right here in Downtown Racine. \nPARKING \nPark at the Lake Avenue Ramp (300 Lake Avenue)\, Civic Centre Ramp (501 Lake Avenue)\, or Shoop Ramp (State & Main) for just $4 all day!
