First Fridays to Begin May 3, 2024
We will kick off the series of First Fridays events this Friday, May 3, 2024 along Bay Avenue from 2nd Street to 7th Street and also on 5th Street between Bay Avenue and Chesapeake Avenue. From 6 to 9 pm, enjoy DJ music, classic cars, food trucks, beer and wine vendors, small pop-up shops, craft vendors, and free beach access. While you're in town, stop in your favorite shops and restaurants. Refer to the attached map for important information regarding the event area.
For the First Friday events, there will be firm guidelines in place regarding alcoholic beverages. These guidelines are in place to prevent intoxication, drunk driving, and underage drinking. We hope to have full cooperation from all guests at these events.
Guidelines on Alcoholic Beverages
This should go without saying, but you must be 21 to drink! Patrons who wish to purchase alcoholic beverages MUST show proof of identification/age and have received a wrist band by a Town employee at the North Beach Shirt Shack prior to any purchases. Each patron is permitted to purchase ONE beer or wine per transaction/visit to a beer/wine vendor. Patrons are prohibited from purchasing alcoholic beverages for other individuals. Each patron must show the vendor their wrist band to make a purchase. No alcoholic beverages are allowed outside the event area. No outside alcohol or coolers are permitted.
Parking can sometimes be difficult in the Town of North Beach during large events. We ask all drivers to reduce their speed while in town; carpool, if possible; be patient while seeking a parking spot; and, be respectful of the town residents' parking areas.
Guidelines on Parking
Refer to the attached map for parking suggestions. Paid parking is available in two locations indicated by a yellow star. Free parking is available in the lots indicated by a blue star. On street parking is available; however, some areas are for resident parking only. We encourage guests to carpool and to be mindful of residential parking and pay attention to signage, especially on Annapolis Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and west of Chesapeake Avenue.
