☔ Rain check? Never heard of her.
It's soggy out there right now, but the skies clear this afternoon and First Friday goes on as planned: October First Friday: MarketFEST 2026 is TONIGHT, 5-8 PM on North Fountain Avenue in downtown Springfield!
Here's what's waiting for you once the sun breaks through:
🛍️ 50 market vendors lining a fully closed-to-traffic Fountain Avenue - stroll the whole street
🎶 Live music setting the vibe all evening
🍜 Food, drinks, and downtown shops open late
🐕 And yes... dozens of very good pugs, because PugtoberFest is back at Champion City Guide & Supply hampion City Guide & Supply from 5-8 PM
One street, one night, everything happening at once. A little morning rain never stopped a good First Friday - bring the whole family and make a night of it downtown. 🍂
