First Friday Poughkeepsie is a city-wide celebration held on the first Friday of every month when eateries and shops stay open late, pop-up shops line the streets and music fills the air. First Friday will stretch from Academy Street to Market Street and feature live entertainment, fair-styled foods and Hudson Valley craft beer. From dancers to DJ’s to acoustic performers, there will be a show for all. Local restaurants and food vendors will be centrally located on Liberty and Garden Streets.
