First Friday: A Community Happy Hour
October 6 | 5-7pm
First Fridays are a RAP tradition. We seek to support small businesses, celebrate the work of our fantastic partners, and allow members to meet other members and - your neighbors! Wind down and kick off the weekend during this monthly event and support those who make our neighborhood special while gathering with friends and neighbors. We'll have food, drinks and music for everyone to enjoy.
Hosted by Riverside Avondale Preservation, join us for evening on Post St. with 5 Points Farm! This unique aeroponic farm embraces the future of what farming looks like. The farm features 20 aeroponic towers with a total planting capacity of 1040 plants where you can shop and pick your own veggies.
