"Families and friends are looking for something to do this weekend to celebrate Independence Day, and we offer a weekend of free entertainment," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, area spokesperson and 'queen of the West Bottoms'. "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."

The West Bottoms is known for its charming, clean, vast spaces inside buildings and outside for visitors to stroll and enjoy the food trucks and band. Stores request masks to be worn and they will be following city occupancy guidelines to promote social distancing.

The West Bottoms Historic Entertainment District, located just off the 12th Street Bridge, has 22 warehouses in a thirteen-block area with approximately 600 vendors and more than 25 stores and restaurants.  Many of the large, multi-story buildings have histories starting over 120 years ago. 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
