Orleans First Friday is a free monthly community event held on the first Friday of June, July, August, and September — with a brand new Holiday Edition on December 4, 2026.
Each evening, businesses throughout Orleans open their doors a little later as the town comes alive with live music, local art, artisan pop-ups, and the kind of easy, unhurried energy that makes the Cape feel like home. A free town trolley connects the different business hubs, making it simple to wander from Route 6A to Main Street and beyond.
Now in its third season, First Fridays began in 2024 as an initiative of the Orleans Chamber of Commerce, and has grown into a true collaboration between the Chamber, the Town of Orleans, and the Orleans Merchants Group. Together they handle promotion, coordination, and logistics so that businesses of every size can participate — whether that means extending hours, hosting a special event, or simply being open and part of the shared energy across town.
First Fridays are free to attend and open to everyone. Whether you're a year-round resident, a summer visitor, or just passing through, we'd love to see you out on the town.
