Nov. 3 will be a night of celebration at the First Thursday ArtWalk. One of the first in the region, the monthly ArtWalk happens between Pacific Ave, Harbor Boulevard, 4th and 9th streets. First Thursday ArtWalk showcases all arts disciplines throughout the community. Begun in 1997, by a group of artists, restaurateurs and urban planners, it was designed to revitalize businesses and the arts by creating an attraction to bring the community into downtown San Pedro.
A second-line style band, Joshua Christian Childress and Friends (Facebook: Joshua Christian Childress, Instagram: jchild98) will perform and be moving around the ArtWalk, bringing Dixieland music to the corners of the district to celebrate the anniversary. Food trucks will return to Mesa Street between 7th and 5th streets.
The Arts District has created a colorful commemorative map and will be conducting a guided ArtWalk tour of arts spaces in the arts district, with special treats for donors. Attendees can gather at the Palm Realty PopUp, 255 West 6th St., and start walking at 6 p.m..
