December First Friday: Annual Downtown Cookie Walk

Returning for the fourth year in a row, the Downtown Wabash Cookie Walk will feature delicious holiday treats to sample from various businesses while you cross off your holiday shopping to-do-list.

April First Friday: Downtown Luau

Downtown will transform into a tropical oasis during this special First Friday! Dust off your best Hawaiian shirt and invite your friends to celebrate all things tropical! Join us in welcoming the arrival of spring with luau-inspired activities, shopping specials, unique dining, specialty drinks, fun things to do in downtown and a selfie contest on social media during the event!

Various businesses will participate in the ‘Golden Lei Giveaway’ by randomly selecting one lucky winner to receive a special prize along with $10 Downtown Dollars from Downtown Wabash, Inc. How will you know if you won? If you are a winner, you will find a Golden Lei on your shopping bag, beverage cup, etc. after making a purchase (much like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar!)

Free Leis for First Friday goers donated by Grow Wabash County while supplies last.
