For the August FIRST FRIDAY, Downtown Manassas rolls out the red carpet for local dogs! There will be paddling pools for dogs to cool off, dog treat vendors, dog portraits, agility course, and a walk down the red carpet for our canine friends. Food trucks and plenty of drink will be available for their humans!
From 6-9 p.m., we close off the streets to traffic and open them up to pedestrians (and dogs!) so visitors can casually sip and stroll through our Historic Downtown. Restaurants offer specialty foods and drinks, and shops stay open later than normal.
Visitors can enjoy our Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA), which allows consumption of alcoholic beverages for those 21 years and older within designated signage areas during the City's First Friday events. (Please, no glass or cans allowed, only plastic cups with DORA logo from participating establishments are permitted.)
You’ll be glad you came!
