The kids are encouraged to wear costumes to visit multiple stations with candy. First Friday is also free admission at the Racine Art Museum, 441 Main St., live music all over Downtown along with open houses at shops and galleries.
A day at the river. Everyone is invited to Pedal, Paddle and Stroll along the Root River this Saturday.
