Gulfport’s First Friday Art Walk returns to downtown Gulfport this Friday, December 3rd with over 30 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 artistic offerings. First Friday Art Walk kicks-off a weekend full of art in the arts-loving community in Gulfport this weekend, as the Fifth Annual ArtJones Open Studio Tour takes place Saturday and Sunday at artist studios across town.
