One of Silverthorne’s most popular First Friday events, the Locals’ Appreciation Party Sponsored by Locals Liquors, will be held on Friday, May 2on the Silverthorne Performing Arts Center lawn from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event will feature free beer, wine and liquor tasting and live music.

While the May First Friday event is free, community members are strongly encouraged to make donations to local non-profits to participate in the event. In years past, the Locals’ Appreciation Party has raised more than $46,000 for non-profit organizations.

First Friday Tips

• Walk, ride your bike, carpool or take the free Summit Stage to First Friday as parking is limited.
• Drink responsibly and designate a sober driver.
• No outside alcohol is permitted at First Friday events.
• While, well-behaved, leashed pets are allowed at outdoor Silverthorne events, please note that May First Friday is very crowded and it may be best to leave your four-legged friends at home.
