First Fridays

Downtown Bellefontaine

First Fridays

Once a month, the whole square comes alive. Shop, eat, explore -- and repeat.

A Standing Date with Downtown

You gotta love a good Friday. And the Downtown Bellefontaine Partnership -- a nonprofit organization -- has committed to make every first Friday of the month one for the books.

Their mission: make Bellefontaine the place to be by improving the quality and quantity of commerce, unifying public and private sectors, and promoting historic preservation to enrich the cultural life of our community.

How do they do it? By hosting monthly downtown events that encourage people to come and support local shops in Logan County.
