BROWNSVILLE, Texas – The City of Brownsville will be bringing back the long-awaited First Friday celebration at Market Square in our Historic Downtown. This event will be held every first Friday of every month, starting July 1st. With family-friendly activities beginning from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and nightlife from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. with participation from local bars, vendors, restaurants, and outside entertainment.
Initially built in 1850 as an open-air market in 1852, Market Square is considered the heart of Downtown activity and events. First Friday was created to promote, support and build attraction to Brownsville’s Historic Downtown area. Families are encouraged to enjoy live music and local street vendors selling food, art, crafts and much more. At the same time, visitors are encouraged to experience downtown nightlife with live music, outdoor stages and pedicabs that will be available for transportation around the district for those looking to enjoy visiting a variety of bars within the area.
“It’s all about the downtown business owners, it’s their initiative, and a way for the city to show its support. We have great food, music, and people, and we are highlighting an event that brings visitors and tourists to Downtown,” said Downtown Manager Allan Garces.
