Aurora s First Fridays will kick off the start of the food truck season with its annual Food Truck Festival on May 5. Held by Aurora Downtown, the popular and free event will welcome more than two dozen food trucks to Benton Street.
Aurora Downtown s Business Attraction and Retention Committee announced its grant program for 2023 to help support established businesses, property owners, and initiatives taking place in the downtown special service area
Now in its 10th year, First Fridays will celebrate its local roots with events featuring local artists and musicians Feb. 3. "What started as a night featuring a handful of art openings has grown into a downtown-wide arts and cultural open house frequently boasting more than two dozen offerings and sometimes up to 40," said Marissa Amoni, manager of Aurora Downtown, who helped start First Fridays with a group of business owners in 2013.
