Bristol Borough’s First Friday celebration will kick off this week.
The first of the Bristol Borough Business Association’s seasonal events will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. along Mill Street, the intersection with Radcliffe Street, and the waterfront park.

With warm weather and partly sunny skies forecasted, First Friday will feature free caricature drawings, live music, food vendors, arts and crafts stations, a visit from fairy-tale princesses, face painting, and a number of other activities at local shops. This month, First Friday coincides with Bucks County Restaurant Week and the Bristol eateries taking part.
This year, the community art project will involve creating decorated garden posts that will be placed throughout the borough once they are completed.
Mill Street will be blocked off starting Friday afternoon and into the evening.

First Friday, organizers have said in the past, is to get out-of-towners and locals into the central business district and see what the riverfront community has to offer.
First Fridays run from May until September.

First Friday in Bristol started a few years ago and has ramped up in the past year as more and more attention is paid to Bristol and its rebirth.
