About the event
Family First Fridays is a recurring community celebration hosted on the first Friday of every month, specifically designed to offer a safe and high-energy environment for families in the heart of downtown Phoenix. While downtown is famous for its artsy First Friday walks, the Arizona Center focuses on providing a curated "home base" for parents and children.
The event typically features:
The Play Zone: A wide array of oversized lawn games like giant Connect Four, cornhole, and Jenga spread across the manicured garden paths.
Live Entertainment: A rotating lineup of local musicians, DJs, and street performers who provide a soundtrack that is upbeat but family-appropriate.
Kid-Centric Activities: Rotating monthly themes often include face painting, balloon artists, interactive craft stations, and seasonal activities like pumpkin decorating or spring planting.
Dining & Treats: Attendees can grab dinner at onsite favorites like Jersey Mike's or Omoide Sushi, then head to Cold Stone Creamery or Chocolate Bash for dessert.
