The first street party of the season! Allen Street, between Franklin St. and Virginia Place, will be closed, but the galleries, restaurants and shops will be open for this very special, family friendly "Art and the City" Allentown First Friday Gallery Walk. GO Bike Buffalo is setting up a bike loop for the kids, and jumbo chalk art will be happening. There will be an interpretive street tour, and kids, pets, and adults are all invited to join the march down Allen Street. Check out the creative upcycled Green Window City art in storefront windows, live recycling bin, enjoy drumming, and more. And a live build-out of Allen Street will demonstrate the future street design.

We are happy to present an event that families can enjoy together in the heart of Allentown. Come together and celebrate the coming of Summer with us!
