Railroad Square is best known for the exciting and popular First Friday festival, which occurs on the first Friday of every month, providing a lively, enjoyable experience with open galleries/shops, live music, and food. First Friday has been going for over 20 years! Even having been recognized nationally by Forbes and Huffington Post and is Tallahassee’s most popular, longest-running monthly cultural event! Railroad Square is the place to go to support creative LOCAL businesses and experience a variety and uniqueness not found in any other single location in town...from vintage, thrift, and antique stores, to art galleries, creative shops, a non-profit theater, an authentic pinball arcade, a gaming shop, a cult cinema, the largest indoor rock climbing gym in the region, and a specialty kayak shop...there's something for everyone! Food and beverage options include the Square Mug Cafe, Gamescape Cafe, Railroad Square Crafthouse, and the Crumbox Gastgarden, which is the only cafe in-town built out of a real railroad caboose! As of Sept 2020, this staple Tallahassee event is being organized and hosted by ACERS, the non-profit organization that provides Arts + Cultural Events at RRSQ.
