First Friday Art Walk (June 3, 2016)

The First Friday Art Walk is a monthly event held in downtown Bastrop on the first Friday of every month to celebrate Bastrop's thriving art scene. This month, the First Friday Art Walk will be held on Friday, June 3rd, from 5:30-8:30pm.

Many downtown businesses, restaurants, and shops will stay open late, and there will be refreshments, live music & entertainment, and beautiful local artwork throughout historically hip downtown Bastrop. It's basically the art equivalent of a pub crawl!
