Most venues will remain open for Last Fridays, and many activities will occur as scheduled no matter the forecast. We will only cancel, reschedule, or relocate outdoor activities in the event of dangerous or prohibitive weather. If necessary, we will notify contracted artists and make public announcements on LastFridays.org and social media regarding changes or relocations before 2 PM on event day. Follow us on socials (linked above) to hear first!
