The Downtown Merchants of Blacksburg, er, Downtown Blacksburg, Inc. have changed their First Wednesdays events to First Fridays. The first First Friday is March 5. Salem has a First Fridays. Roanoke has a First Fridays. Many towns and cities have a First Fridays. These events may or may not be 21 and older, but involve music, dancing and a good time. It is something that downtown Blacksburg could benefit from, especially if it was a celebration with a kids’ area too.
So what fun events are scheduled to get people to come downtown?
From their website:

So basically it is First Wednesdays with nothing to really appeal to anyone other than people who already shop the boutiques. Hmmm, maybe the Christiansburg Cruise In may be the place to go. Or Salem. Or Roanoke.
