On the second Friday of each month, the Lower Dauphin arts district turns into an evening stroll. Galleries and studios open their doors, restaurants and bars fill up, and outdoor vendors set up around Cathedral Square, which also hosts a Kids Zone with monthly activities. A performance zone at Dauphin and Hamilton streets has a new act every hour starting at 6 p.m.

ArtWalk runs 6 to 9 p.m. and is free. Remaining 2026 dates are October 9 (Halloween themed), November 13 and December 11. Street parking downtown is free after 5 p.m. in many spots, but it fills quickly, so come early or plan on a short walk. Wear comfortable shoes, since the best way to see it is on foot.
