This was my first time at First Friday. A friend of mine came to visit and I took her there along with a few friends. We parked at the El Cortez and took the free shuttle across the street of the main entrance to the event.  \nThere were a lot of people of all ages kids as well wasn't expecting them to be out late. There were art galleries ofcourse, vendors, food trucks of all sorts and one of them had funnel cakes. There were 2 or 3 stages playing music. One of the stage was set up on top of a truck.. An area with rap music where a girl was rapping. Lots of neat art stuffs. We took the open top Big Bus back to El Cortez and sat on the top level of the bus which was so cool. A great, cheap way to spend an evening out!
