First Friday Art Walk returns to downtown Gulfport on Friday, February 4th 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, attracting leading talent from across the state to scenic downtown Beach Boulevard each month. 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 month full of fine art in the arts-loving community in Gulfport, with the 7th Annual Gulfport Fine Arts Festival taking place on February 12-13 at the scenic overlook at Gulfport Veterans Park.
