First Friday: Rock, Shop & Roll
Friday, January 2, 2026 • 6–9 PM • Downtown Lakeland
We think Lakeland rocks… so let’s prove it.
Kick off the new year at First Friday: Rock, Shop & Roll, a rock-and-roll–themed night in Downtown Lakeland. Bring in the new year with a rockin’ and shoppin’ good time as you stroll the streets, check out 200+ vendors, and enjoy the Rock and Roll energy all through the footprint of the event.
Live Music in Munn Park
Lakeland’s own Joe’s Garage Band will hit the stage for three live sets in Munn Park, with their performance broadcast throughout the entire event area. No matter where you roam, you’ll hear the music pumping while you shop, snack, and explore.
Shop, Dine & Stay Late
Downtown shops and restaurants will be open late, so you can grab dinner, dessert, and all the rock-themed goodies your heart desires. With plenty of parking nearby and a walkable footprint, it’s easy to make a whole night of it.
Bring your family, your friends, and your best band tee. It’s the perfect family-friendly way to wrap up the holiday season and start the new year on a high note at Rock, Shop & Roll!
