First Fridays
Red Bird First Friday
Experience the vibrant heartbeat of Downtown Sylvania with Red Bird First Fridays. Our monthly gathering has become an essential driver of growth and economic development in the area. It’s not just an event, it’s a celebration of our unique downtown where business and community come together once a month.
Join us and discover the latest happenings, connect with friends and neighbors, and immerse yourself in the bond we’ve built with our community over the past 8 years.
At Red Bird, every owner becomes your bestie and every shop feels like a part of your home – because the real party is YOU. Red Bird has become the beloved mascot of Downtown Sylvania, embodying the vibrant spirit of our community. Together, we cultivate a culture of opportunity for our business members, residents, and city as a whole. Mark your calendar for every First Friday, all year round, from 5pm ’til late (or even later during the summer).
