Over 50 shops and eateries, all privately-owned and operated, grace our streets and await your arrival. The event is free, and so is the parking.

The event kicks off on Friday, Oct. 1 with”First Fridays In Frenchtown” where shops and galleries have extended hours. There will be special events, demonstrations, refreshments, sales and discounts as well as street musicians and artists. Throughout weekends in October there will be fun activities for everyone, including Kayak Races, Pumpkin Decorating, Pet Photos, Pie Baking Contest, Jack-O-Lantern Glow, Parade, Trick or Treating, Live Music and much, much more.

Special events and sales will be occurring each weekend within the many high quality shops and galleries. Local restaurants will be offering special Fall menus in addition to their already delicious cuisine. Parking is available in several town lots (such as the new lot along the river), as well as on the street.

The streets will be lined with over 25 scarecrows created by Frenchtown Elementary School students, hay bales, decorated pumpkins, mums and much more. Take a stroll around town and see store windows decked out in the latest Fall fashion.
