Looking for a Friday night that’s anything but ordinary? On May 2, BRBG invites the community to gather for its First Friday Community Night — an evening that brings together climbing, creativity, and connection in a way only BRBG can.
More than just a climbing gym, BRBG is a vibrant space where movement meets inspiration. This special event features a local artist showcase and a curated pop-up sale, alongside bouldering and yoga experiences for all levels.
Admission is just $15 for non-members, with access to all activities including climbing and yoga. This is the perfect chance for anyone who’s been curious about climbing to give it a try in a fun, low-pressure environment. Members and punch pass holders attend free.

Perfect for beginners, this class introduces the fundamentals of bouldering in a welcoming environment. Participants will learn basic technique and safety tips to help them climb with confidence. (Registration required)
Yoga Express | 6:30–7 p.m.
A 30-minute guided yoga session to awaken the body and calm the mind—ideal for warming up before climbing or simply enjoying mindful movement.
Community Artist Showcase
Throughout the night, attendees can explore a gallery-style showcase of local artists’ work. With art displayed around the gym, creativity becomes part of the environment, encouraging reflection, conversation, and inspiration.
