First Fridays in Ambler

The first Friday of each month, May through October is always a blast in Ambler! The free “Kid’s Zone” offers arts and crafts, games, inflatables, shows and more. There is always plenty of live music and original art to enjoy as well as delicious food and special merchant promotions, including complimentary wine and cheese, special deals and more.

Friday, May 2, 2026

Get ready for a fun filled Friday night this Friday because from 6-9 we close Butler Avenue at 12:00 (for line painting) so that our amazing shops and businesses can spill out onto the street for First Friday!

We have some delicious food offerings lined up for you on South Ridge Avenue, and a sampling of really cool vendors between Ridge Avenue and Lindenwold. On our stage in front of Ambler Savings bank, we welcome The Choke Artists for lively chill entertainment. We have entertainment for the kids – the bounce houses are back, of course Arlen from A to Z Magic will be creating amazing balloon animals, AND Rainbows and Unicorns will be strolling the Avenue with toys to light the night, crowns for little princesses, and bubbles for everyone!

The event runs from 6-9 and the open container ordinance is LIFTED, so please enjoy a delightful beverage from our partners Ambler Rotary Club who will be in their usual spot at Ridge and Butler.

PARKING IN AMBLER

Because Ambler has the busiest train station on the R5 rail line, we use meters for regulating parking. When commuters park their cars all day in the downtown, they take spaces away from our shoppers and visitors. The meters will help free up convenient spaces for shoppers and other visitors. That's the why of meters, now here's how to take advantage of them:

AMPLE NUMBER OF SPACES
247 spaces in the three Borough lots
146 spaces on the street within one block of downtown.

THREE CONVENIENT LOTS
On Lindenwold at Butler Ave., Cavalier at Butler Ave., and Butler at the Train Tracks

BARGAIN RATES
SUNDAYS AND AFTER 6 PM ARE ALWAYS FREE.
WEEKDAYS ARE ALSO FREE FROM 12-2PM
One dollar buys you 1 hour of parking on all meters.  You can pay for up to 2 hours with either coins or the Flowbird APP on your smart phone.
