Family friendly activities include:

- Birthday crowns and coloring pages (crayons will be handed out)
- Temporary tattoos
- Balloons
- Chalk art
We will be joined by some of our community partners who will also have activities. Additionally, there will be music by DJ Pup Daddy, Bright Starr 360 photo booth, and "Beer For Good" at Hot Plate Brewing Co.
School Supply Drive
Berkshire United Way will collect school supplies during First Fridays at Five to benefit teachers and students in the Pittsfield Public Schools.
Thanks to the generosity of the Johnson Dealerships, you can help us "Fill a Ford" during First Fridays.
To help fill the closets with most needed supplies, we have created an Amazon wish list based on what teachers have requested.
Organized by the City of Pittsfield and Downtown Pittsfield, Inc., First Fridays at Five is Berkshire County's largest and most unique happening of the year. Enjoy live music, dance, art making, family fun, food, and a makers market on the first Friday of every month.
