Every year the Carbondale May First Friday is an event to remember. This year a collective of bright minds and colorful personalities have joined forces to make sure this year is just as special while we continue to celebrate in an alternative format.
To enjoy the outdoor element of our traditional Family Block Party we're encouraging people to participate in a Yard Art Walk from 4-6pm.
Carbondale Arts will be providing FREE chalk kits and yard signs to decorate so everyone can create something to share with friends and neighbors. Or by all means if you have other art work you'd like to display, please do! While adhering to distancing guidelines, take a stroll and enjoy this community project, we encourage picture taking and sharing! (#carbondaleartshare ) Chalk kits and yard signs are available to pick up our front of The Launchpad. We have a limited quantity, please limit one per artist or household. Enjoy!

Afterward, settle in and hop on Thunder River Theatre Company’s ThunderStream or Facebook page for a live broadcast of First Friday with special guests and a celebration of Pride from 6-8pm. Schedule below.
