First Friday Art Walk

The First Friday of each month has long been a cornerstone of Troutdale’s art community and the businesses in our downtown. For nearly 20 years, the First Friday Art Walk has brought people together to experience what Troutdale has to offer. The event returns on May 6 and continues on the first Friday of each month through September.
