The First Friday of every month, the merchants of  Downtown Peterborough keep their doors open late to welcome you!  Stroll around and discover the unique shops, restaurants and galleries all within easy walking distance. Each location has something special …  From books to cigars to jewelry, and delicious pastries, chocolates, to original art, WE HAVE IT ALL.  Even a gift for that “four legged” member of the family!  Partake on all the area has to offer and then finish off the evening with dinner at one of the many restaurants in Downtown Peterborough.  Book an outdoor table and dine alfresco.  Thinking take out?  Lots of options available for you to take home.
