Helpful Tips!

It may be a good idea to bring a stroller for the comfort and safety of younger children as this walk goes down multiple busy streets. While walking around and seeing the sights is free, each business will have their usual goods available for purchase as well. For a map and more detailed walking information, visit the Art Walk’s website! There is plenty of free street parking, as well as free parking at the Heer’s parking garage at 230 N Campbell Ave. For easy navigation, simply choose which business you’d like to start your walk at and plug in the business address. All addresses are listed on the Art Walk website.
