In the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg, woven into the tapestry of one of America’s most historic cities, are eight art galleries and studios, each a vibrant celebration of visual creativity. On First Fridays for the past 30 years, the galleries have drawn thousands to Downtown Fredericksburg to check out local art, rub shoulders with the artists, listen to street-corner musicians, and sample the fares and wares at Downtown’s 21 restaurants and 30 late-night shops. Some, if they’re of age, buy a craft beverage so they can sip and stroll, all while walking, talking, and gawking at the diverse riches Downtown Fredericksburg has to offer. Others hop on and off the free trolley that loops through the arts and business district. Featuring exhibitions, performances, and special events–FXBG First Friday is worlds within worlds, waiting for you to explore.

Join THE PROTEST and RELENT for a night of Joyful [and loud] noise in Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Saturday, August 15th.
THE PROTEST has firmly established itself as a force in Christian Rock, releasing three full-length albums and two EPs, with multiple singles charting on the Billboard National Christian Rock Charts. Their highly anticipated fourth full-length album is set for release in 2026—making this a prime opportunity to experience the band live before their next major chapter unfolds.
More than a concert, a THE PROTEST show is an experience. Fueled by a mission to bring hope and redemption back to rock ’n’ roll, the band delivers high-energy performances that connect deeply with audiences. Fans don’t just attend—they leave inspired, renewed, and changed.
Formed in 2016 by Miggy Sanchez (Ill Niño), RELENT brings a relentless blend of hard rock and nu-metal, combining massive sound with emotionally powerful lyrics. Known for their explosive live performances, RELENT is not just a band—it’s a movement that must be experienced in person.
This is your chance to be part of something powerful.
Don’t miss THE PROTEST & RELENT live—an unforgettable night of Christian Rock that will move you, challenge you, and leave a lasting impact.
