Join the Town of Silverthorne as we celebrate Silverthorne's new Creative District! Visit businesses throughout Silverthorne's Creative District to experience artful activations such as live music, art demos, crafts, poetry, improv and more. Silverthorne will come alive during April's First Friday celebration as participants walk around and explore all that the Creative District has to offer.

Pick up a free art passport at any participating April First Friday business and collect a unique, handcrafted art stamp made by local artists at each business. Collect at least five different stamps and show your stamp book at the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace by 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 4 for a FREE 2026 First Friday t-shirt (while supplies last).

Mark your calendars for Friday, April 3 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. for this fun and interactive take on First Fridays!

Plus, be sure to keep your stamp book after April First Friday! A fun, new interactive Silverthorne Stamp Rally will be starting later this spring with participating businesses offering discounts or specials for collecting their artful stamp. Stay tuned for more information!
