On the first Friday of every month, the shops, art galleries and restaurants in the Village of Saugerties extend their hours for the night, and host special events and sales in a communitywide demonstration of camaraderie and mutual support. The next First Friday event unfolds this Friday, September 7 from 5 to 10 p.m. (Be forewarned that some venues will close earlier than that, and a few will stay open later.)
