Williamsport, located at the heart of central Pennsylvania, is quickly becoming a historical and cultural center for the arts. On the First Friday of every month, businesses keep their doors open late to host local artists, bands, and art events of all kinds. The goal of First Friday is to celebrate the arts while promoting local artists, and enhancing Williamsport’s reputation as the Northern Tier’s regional cultural center. First Friday imbues Williamsport with the joy and beauty of the arts.
