You won’t want to miss this!!

Alton Main Street is proud to present First Fridays, a late night art and shopping experience which spans more than a dozen locations across the Downtown district.

This event will be held on the First Friday of every month in October, November & December, providing you with an opportunity to check out new shops and galleries and drop in to your familiar favorites! Participants are offering a variety of discounts, refreshments and giveaways.

A free shuttle will be provided from 5- 8pm, running a continuous loop between all locations. Pick up your passport at any participating business to guide your journey. Find the list of shops & galleries at www.DowntownAlton.com/Events!

Every time you make a purchase you’ll have your passport stamped for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to any participating business, and the first shopper to find our “Where’s Wadlow” statue inside one of the shops will also win a $100 gift certificate!

First Friday starts THIS WEEK on Friday, October 3rd! Nearly 20 local retailers, restaurants, and galleries have signed for this FUN event. 🚌🎨🛍

These aren’t just pencils. They’re Blackwings - aka the legends of the stationary world. A legacy in graphite.
Some of the famous people to use them include:
John Steinbeck to write The Grapes of Wrath.
Check Jones to create Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes crew.
Stephen Sondheim to compose Broadway brilliance.
Quincy Jones to craft songs that defined a generation.
Charles and Ray Eames to sketch iconic furniture silhouettes.
(Just to name a few)
They are made in the USA by artists, musicians, writers, and designers who believe in unplugging and making space for creativity - on paper. And because putting good into the world matters, a portion of every purchase supports the Blackwing Foundation, funding music and arts education in K-12 schools.
