Ambler 'First Fridays' to Begin on May 3

Ambler Main Street (AMS), the non-profit entity responsible for producing family-friendly events in the Borough of Ambler, has announced the kickoff to the 2013 event season with First Fridays in Ambler beginning on May 3.

“First Fridays are really a community celebration”, said Allison Wolf, Co-President of Ambler Main Street. “Ambler has it all – stroll our historic streets, meet shop owners who truly care about your experience and grab a bite at one of the ever-increasing restaurants that are part of our town. With the return of the Kids Zone this year, we ensure that you could never get this experience at a shopping mall.”

Businesses in the town are open late and have special promotions. First Fridays also feature a Kid’s Zone with free activities, community information and games for the kids. The evening is reminiscent of the kind of block party held in neighborhoods years ago.

“This is an opportunity for the people in Ambler and the surrounding area to spend quality time with their family, neighbors and friends”, said Pat Strus, Co-President of Ambler Main Street. “Spending time in an historic town like Ambler is truly an experience for all ages. It feels like the way things used to be."

The events will occur from 6 to 9 p.m. on the first friday of every month from May through October, and they will span beyond Butler Avenue to include all side streets from Lindenwold to Main Street.

First Fridays are free to attend, and all are welcome.
