First Friday Art Walk returns to downtown Gulfport this Friday, September 3rd with over 25 of the Tampa region’s most innovative emerging and professional artists alongside live entertainment in a festive, outdoor celebration of creativity and community. The event runs from 5pm-9pm alongside the shops, restaurants, breweries and galleries that comprise the town’s cultural and business hub on Beach Boulevard and is hosted by the Gulfport Merchants Chamber.

First Friday Art Walk in Gulfport has become a must-see event for artists and arts-lovers across the area since its creative redesign last year, attracting leading talent from across the state to scenic downtown Gulfport. Visitors are encouraged to explore the many participating businesses that line the route of the Art Walk, several of which stay open late to capture the excitement of the evening's festivities.
