HELENA–The last Helena First Friday event of 2015 for Helena residents and business owners to explore local shops and get in the holiday spirit will be Friday, Dec. 4.

The theme for the December First Friday event will be “An Old Town Christmas” and will be Dec. 4 from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

More than 30 vendors will be featured including food and clothing vendors, Christmas performances and more.

Those in attendance will have the opportunity to see Santa Claus located at Oh My Sole! In Old Town and Scozzarro Law will also have a Winter Wonderland display.

Skull Girls Soaps, who recently opened their new store in Helena, will have a theme featuring the Grinch?

The event is free to the public and parents are encouraged to bring their children to sit with Santa.

Helena First Friday is presented by The Helena Business Association and held the first Friday of most months in the historic district of Old Town Helena. Local businesses stay open late, area vendors set up booths, live music is played at the gazebo, and local restaurants and food vendors serve awesome food. The event is family-friendly.
