Info for Restaurants

First Friday is a popular event that brings hundreds of people out to experience art and socialize. Most of these people enjoy eating. If you have a restaurant and you would like to participate please read the follow to get a sense of your participation options:

Participate as a Venue -

Restaurants are invited to participate as a venue and host an artist or group of artists. A few restaurants have found this to work well, but more often than not it is not a good fit. Having groups of people coming in to look at art and walk around your space on a busy Friday evening, while you are focused on giving your dinner guests a good experience, may not be what you’re hoping for. However, it does work for some, given the right space. If you are interested in understanding how to participate as a venue go here.

Participate as a Sponsor -

What may work better is to participate as a restaurant sponsor. Here’s how it works:
For only $150 you will be listed for a full year on the FirstFridaySantaCruz.com site as well as the popular First Friday Iphone app. Your listing will include a full profile of your restaurant with pictures and any “First Friday Specials” you would like to advertise.
