First Friday Berea's mission is to Fortify Community. Diversify the Arts. Amplify Berea.

Our Vision is to inspire radical hope, encourage camaraderie, and build an enlivened community in Berea, Kentucky. 
​
For over a decade, First Friday Berea has transformed vacant lots and underused parks into gathering places where strangers become neighbors and neighbors become friends. We've been awarded a three-year Levitt BLOC Music Series grant (2026-2028) to present 10 free outdoor concerts annually across multiple neighborhood locations. ​Featuring national, regional, and local live music and performance art, First Friday Market, food trucks, children's activities, and family fun atmosphere.

The Levitt Berea Music Series is presented by the First Friday Berea with support from Mountain Association, Berea Kids Eat, City of Berea, Berea Parks & Recreation, and Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation.
WHEN: 
2026 Dates TBA!
