First Friday is a monthly community nonprofit event, for people of all ages in the Southern Pines area. As "First Friday" is a community event, it will be provided for through sponsorship and volunteer effort, will be free of charge to the public, and will be family-friendly. Participants will have access to food, beverages, live music and other forms of entertainment, which will enhance the enjoyment of each occasion.

The "First Friday" series is designed as such to invigorate and augment the many things about Southern Pines that make it such a wonderful place to live and do business. The goal of this event is to increase awareness of these points and foster relationships within the community in a setting of relaxation, fun and togetherness.

The "First Friday" series has the base support of the Southern Pines Business Association, but will seek local sponsorship from a variety of sources. Each and every sponsor will receive recognition for their efforts in relation to their level of sponsorship. Recognition will include, but is not limited to, radio, print and poster advertising before each event and publicity at the event itself.

Any level of sponsorship will be appreciated and acknowledged. Ultimately, we wish to ensure that the event will be self sustaining for many years to come, and it will take the combined efforts of the community to make this objective a reality.
