"The West Bottoms First Friday Weekend is often called Festival of the Full Moon – a nod to Full Moon Productions that helps the district shine. The month's full moon falls on the last night of the First Friday Weekend. This July moon is the Thunder Moon, named for the common seasonal storms. Good thing our events are during the day and we expect it will be beautiful."

They have now repurposed this vast space to earn the title of the largest, year-round, indoor vintage and entertainment district. Since 1988, the District is the destination for interior decorators and designers, collectors and consumers seeking stylish décor and gift options with history and patina that cannot be duplicated. The weekend's street entertainment, food trucks, and bars are all part of the Festival of the Full Moon. Full Moon Escape Rooms add another adventure option in the area.  www.westbottoms.com
