November First Friday
On the first Friday of every month, Historic Downtown Bryan turns its streets into a stage, and November is no exception. From 5 to 10, expect live music, performances, art demonstrations, local artists and vendors, and shops and restaurants staying open late. It's been a downtown tradition since 2005 and remains free and family-friendly. Park free at the Roy Kelly Garage, or ride the free shuttle from Texas A&M's Memorial Student Center, which starts at 6 and runs every 30 minutes.
