Fredericksburg's longtime tradition of First Friday celebrations in the downtown area will see a few changes when it returns this week.
As part of the new rebranding of the First Friday events, a new component called "Sip and Stroll" will be added to the festivities. The concept will allow revelers to enjoy alcoholic beverages in a specially designated area of Downtown Fredericksburg.
The Sip and Stroll will occur on First Friday, between 5 and 9 p.m., when adults aged 21 or older can buy an alcoholic beverage from a participating restaurant. The restaurants will sell cups printed with their logos on them.
No outside beverages will be allowed.
