| | | First Fridays Art Walk: Tonight! March 5 | | 
| February's unprecedented winter weather wrecked havoc on our monthly Art Walk plans, so March's arrival is even more anticipated than usual. And believe us, we've got an evening in store that will be the perfect prescription for the house-bound blues!
First Fridays Art Walk celebrates Downtown and its almost 40 diverse creative businesses, restaurants & accommodations located between Belvidere and 4th Streets, along Historic Broad Street and in Historic Monroe and Jackson Wards. This self-guided walking tour of Historic Downtown finds participating venues open generally between 6-10pm with restaurants opening earlier.
