Fairfield First Fridays plans year of Art Walks, outdoor movies and Holiday Trade Fair
Southeast Iowa Union offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
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 23 years that Fairfield First Fridays has been a signature event for Fairfield. Help us make the 24th anniversary the best one yet!
For the 2026 year, we are planning our regular eleven monthly events, Movies in Central Park from June-October, and the Holiday Trade Fair in December. All our events are free and open to the community and those who visit.
