☔️ Rain or shine, we’re still going!

The vendors are here, the music is playing, the food is hot, and there’s plenty happening throughout the Uptown Arts District today.

A special shoutout to the crew at Sa’Niyra’s Delights in the Buddingpreneurs tent. Our team had to show some serious self-control getting these photos before devouring the cookies. 🍪 Safe to say… they were absolutely worth the wait. 😋 Trust us, you’re going to want to grab a cookie!!

Just down the block, stop into Artspace Uptown Artist Lofts and explore the August Art Show featuring incredible work from talented local artists. It’s a great opportunity to experience the creativity that makes the Uptown Arts District so special. 🎨

Can’t make it out today? No worries! Both the Buddingpreneurs and the August Art Show at Artspace Uptown Artist Lofts will be back for First Friday next week, giving you another chance to shop, explore, and support local talent.

See you in the UAD! ♥️
