First Friday’s Om Nom Nom Cookie Carnival returns October 6 from 6pm to 9pm in Downtown Lakeland. Cookie Creators will be peddling their delicious wares in Munn Park. Stop by and pick up 1 or 2 or more cookies, as well as other delicious baked goods!

Want to be a cookie creator? Check the event page on DowntownLKLD.com for an application.

Want to sample some cookies for free? Text FFCOOKIE to 855-298-5275 for a chance to be one of 50 lucky cookie judges. Worried that you might not be chosen via text? The first 50 walk-ups on the night of the event can also snag a Cookie Judge badge. (Winners will be notified on October 5 at 5pm via text. Text messaging rates may apply. More than 100 judges may be chosen via text and via walk-up depending on the number of cookie creators scheduled to be in the park on the night of the event.)

Downtown shops and restaurants will be open late. Don’t miss the Makers Market, featuring local artists and creators, on North Kentucky Avenue, Food Trucks on Pine St., and the Classy Car Show on Tennessee Ave. Streets are closed to vehicles, so come prepared to walk about!

First Friday is a family-friendly event held in the streets of Downtown Lakeland between Lemon Street and Oak Street along Kentucky and Tennessee Avenues. On-street parking begins to close in the event area at 3pm to allow us to clear the streets and set up the exhibitors and vendors. Parking in all permitted and metered locations is free after 5pm and all day on the weekends. Event parking is limited, so please carpool with friends and neighbors!
