LAKE HAVASU CITY – It’s a new year, and First Fridays have returned, making an epic comeback in Lake Havasu’s downtown area. The First Friday event of 2025 took place on January 3 from on McCulloch Blvd. 

The jam-packed entertainment event takes place each month with a variety of several vendors. Last Friday, the popular event featured over 65 artists with a unique mix of vintage, second hand, and handmade items.  

The well attended scene also had over 55 downtown Lake Havasu businesses. Artist sculptor Joseph Scheyer was at the weekend gathering displaying his creations of skateboards, wood, and stone. The live music headliner was Blaggards, performing rock music with Irish rhythms.  

Lighthouse Lounge was the popup restaurant, offering attendees a taste of their many menu options. If you want to jumpstart your weekend next month, a complete listing of the upcoming monthly events can be found by visiting Calendar — First Friday Downtown Havasu.
