First Fridays returns to downtown Grain Valley this Friday, May 3rd with a focus on the arts. The popular event, hosted by the Grain Valley Fair Association in partnership with Downtown Grain Valley, Inc., is held the first Friday during the summer months. The event features a variety of food trucks and a different theme each month. For the month of May, the arts are in the spotlight, with student artwork from Grain Valley Schools displayed in downtown businesses and a chalk artist creating an original work outside of El Tequilazo restaurant beginning at 5:00pm. "We are very excited about this year. We took to heart the survey we conducted earlier this year regarding what people wanted to see as part of First Fridays and have incorporated as many of those activities as possible. Food Trucks play a big part in First Fridays, but we have really tried to grow the event from when we first started from just Food Trucks to other events for the whole family. I think this year we have some really cool things in store and hopefully it will give our residents a chance to stay in town for their Friday nights while at the same time bringing in people from outside our community as well so they can see the great things going on in Grain Valley," Grain Valley Fair Committee Chair Mike Todd said. Main Street will close at around 4:45 PM and reopen around 8:00 PM between Front and Walnut. Access to the parking lot across from the Bank of Grain Valley will be available.
