First Friday season comes to an end with our Back to School Celebration!

Sponsored by A+ Auto Brokers, the Cruise-In returns to Public Square. Main Street is asking for a $10 donation from participating cars to continue to keep First Fridays as a FREE community event. Each donation will receive a free dash plaque commemorating the Cruise-In, and proceeds will benefit the initiatives of Main Street Mount Vernon to continue to better our downtown.
With more vendors than ever, there will be something for everyone, and for the first time ever, vendors at First Fridays will be able to sell their products!
