Fairhope First Friday Art Walk

On the first Friday of every month, downtown Fairhope’s merchants and galleries keep their doors open into the evening and put local artists front and center. It is an easy, walkable night out: browse new work, pop into the shops along Section Street and Fairhope Avenue, and stay for dinner nearby.

The art walk runs 6 to 8 p.m. The Eastern Shore Art Center at 401 Oak Street usually takes part with free exhibit openings and live music. Parking downtown gets tight on pretty evenings, so arrive a little early and expect to walk a few blocks.
