Lansdale unleashes First Fridays 2025 with a howlin’ good start

Discover Lansdale’s “pet project” — the 2025 lineup of First Fridays — starts this Friday, May 2, with new themes, new features, and more fun than ever!

All the favorite First Friday activities are returning for the event’s 14^th season, along with a few innovations the civic nonprofit hopes the borough and its visitors will enjoy.

Every FF this year will spotlight themed nonprofits and organizations keyed to the theme. May’s First Friday's theme is “Raining Cats and Dogs,” and Home At Last Dog Rescue, Stray Cat Blues, and Envi Rescue and Animal Sanctuary will be featured.

Additionally, First Friday is introducing the Inclusive Family Fun Project sensory station, which will be available at every monthly event from 6 to 7 p.m.

The Photo Scavenger Hunt will be posted shortly before the event on the DL Facebook page, with a prize package for May of gift cards and swag from Retroware Arcade, Stove & Tap, and Boardroom Spirits.

In the beer garden this month, Well Crafted Beer, Boardroom Spirits, Local Tap, Round Guys Brewing Company, Boyd's Cardinal Hollow Winery, and von C Brewing Company.

Food vendors will include: House of Cupcakes, Fiesta Churros, Sweet Thangs, Meat Wagon BBQ, The Little Sicilian, Surf and Turf Truck, Moshava, Farmstead Food and El Limon.

Entertainment on the main stage by Evans Entertainment, and over at Railroad Plaza is music by DJ Tone Arm. Balloons are courtesy Myers Designs and juggling by Bad Idea Entertainment.

The Kids Zone includes inflatables and games, and face painting by Josep and Morgan. Dozens of vendors will include food, crafts, non-profits, local businesses, sponsors, and more!
