I ❤ Goshen | February First Fridays

Friday, February 3, 5 – 9 p.m.

Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or Palentine’s: however you celebrate, this sweetheart’s holiday belongs to you in the heart of downtown Goshen!

Tour our stores and restaurants to shop for their selection of wine, chocolate, and Valentine’s Day specials. Items and dishes celebrating love and friendship are on the menu – or sale – at merchants and eateries. And downtown businesses will be showing their love to kids on First Fridays and hosting activities and events for children in stores.
