Fairfield First Fridays offers 11 monthly events plus Movies in Central Park
In 2002, Fairfield First Fridays Art Walk was started by Stacey Hurlin, Founder of the Art Life Society. It was Hurlin and her group’s desire to create a fun, interactive event for the public. This past year marked 21 years that Fairfield First Fridays has been a signature event for Fairfield. Help us make the 22nd anniversary the best one yet!
