First Friday Hatboro is a monthly celebration of the arts, hosted by merchants in the borough's business district from 6 to 9 p.m. the first Friday of every month.

Dave Kim from Marlin Disc Jockey's, Colmar, will host a "Country Dance Party" in the parking lot of McMackin Tire Service, York Road and Moreland Avenue, with free line dancing lessons during the evening. Known for his "fun" and "personable" style of country western dance instruction, Kim has been a country western DJ and dance instructor for nearly 20 years. The event is sponsored by Willow Financial Bank with support from Impact Thrift Stores, Inc., both with locations in Hatboro. Lochel's Bakery, 102 S. York Road, will offer samples of "country" pastries including Red Velvet Cake and Shoo Fly Pie. A free hayride will originate at Jarrett Dodge, 335 S. York Road and stop at Hatboro Baptist Church, 32 N. York Road. For more vehicular fun, First Friday's "touch a truck" program, will feature a 1937 Oliver Hart-Parr tractor, courtesy of Tom Hauke from Liberty Tax Service in Warminster Township. Youngsters can explore the tractor, which will be on display at the Hatboro Baptist Church Annex, 50 N. York Road.
