The City of Springfield is excited to announce the return of its annual 1st Fridays event series on May 2nd to downtown Springfield. 1st Fridays will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first Friday of May, June, August, September, and October.

The community is invited to stroll through the Historic Downtown Springfield and enjoy an evening of shopping, dining, and live music. This free, family-friendly event series includes food trucks, a kids' zone sponsored by Springfield Chick-fil-A, The Farmers Bank, and the Robertson County Family YMCA, a specialty vehicle cruise-in, and over 80 local vendors. The vendors will include farmers, artists, makers, bakers, crafters, boutiques, local businesses, and downtown merchants.

"We’re so excited to partner with our local businesses, makers, crafters, farmers, nonprofits, and churches for 1st Fridays 2025,” said Madie McCormick, Tourism and Main Street Coordinator for the City of Springfield. “This season is going to be a great time for our community to come together, shop, enjoy live music, and experience everything that makes our area special. Events like this not only bring people out to support local vendors but also help boost tourism, making Springfield a place visitors want to experience."

Live music will begin at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at 8:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and their dancing shoes to enjoy the sounds of summer.
