The first of the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce-sponsored celebrations known as First Fridays approaches. According to the Chamber, “The festive “monthly tradition” to bring “the community together …connect with friends, meet new people, and enjoy the best of what Warsaw has to offer” will be offered at RePete Candle and Coffee Bar, Sixth Street and Clay Street, on Friday, May 1 from 5-8 p.m.

Featuring live, vibrant music, a variety of delicious food and drinks, and local vendors, the multigenerational experiences in a lively, “family-friendly environment” attracted hundreds of visitors from throughout the Tri-State area last year. This year promises to be as successful, with the Chamber noting that “whether you’re a resident or just visiting, this event promises an unforgettable experience for everyone.”

Singer-songwriter Jason Michael Launer will perform from 6-8 p.m. RePete Candle and Coffee Bar and Brandon Grunewald will serve food along with the Warsaw Park District’s not-to-be-missed walking tacos.

The “bit of magic and whole lot of community fun” that characterized last year’s First Fridays events continue. Plan for quality times of neighborly rapport and entertainment on May 1, June 5, July 3, and August 7. The Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes the public to experience Warsaw!
