Wenatchee First Fridays: Art, music and community events June 5
Downtown Wenatchee is preparing for another Wenatchee First Fridays on June 5, with galleries, restaurants and storefronts turning the core of the city into a kind of rolling block party for painters, musicians and people who simply enjoy wandering around with an iced drink.
Wenatchee First Fridays returns June 5 as the latest installment of the monthly arts walk, which organizers describe as a celebration of local artists, musicians and food specials in downtown Wenatchee.
Here's a preview of a few stops worth penciling into the evening:
