Wax Apothecary x Idy’s First Friday July – Evening Shopping & Summer Events in Idyllwild

Celebrate July’s Idy’s First Friday with Wax Apothecary

Wax Apothecary is proud to participate in Idy’s First Friday this July, a town-wide summer event created to bring the Idyllwild community together through extended evening hours, local shopping, art, music, pop-ups, and creative activations.

Throughout town, participating businesses will stay open later and offer their own unique experiences. Guests are encouraged to stroll, shop, listen, discover, and enjoy Idyllwild in a new way during these lively summer Friday evenings.

Wax Apothecary will be participating through our storefront inside The Funky Bazaar, where visitors can shop handcrafted botanical candles and aromatherapy goods in a one-of-a-kind local retail setting.


Explore Wax Apothecary at The Funky Bazaar

Inside The Funky Bazaar, Wax Apothecary offers an old-world botanical apothecary experience featuring:

  • Plant-based botanical candles
  • Essential oil–derived aromatherapy
  • Room and linen sprays
  • Hand-rolled incense
  • Handmade soaps and bath products
  • Giftable home fragrance goods

Our collections are inspired by nature, ritual, and the sensory beauty of the San Jacinto Mountains.


A Perfect Summer Friday in Idyllwild

July is a beautiful time to explore Idyllwild. With warm summer evenings, mountain air, and a creative village atmosphere, Idy’s First Friday offers an inviting way to support local businesses and experience the town after hours.

Visitors can enjoy a relaxed evening of shopping, browse artisan goods, discover new shops, and connect with the businesses that make Idyllwild a destination for art, craft, and community.


Why This Event Matters
