First Friday Art Walk

The Art Galleries of St Augustine invites Historic City News readers to enjoy the latest exhibits, music, entertainment and refreshments at more than 20 local art galleries tonight as a fifteen-year tradition continues with the First Friday Art Walk.

Visitors can park free at the San Sebastian Winery, 157 King Street, where sightseeing trains and trolleys offer free round-trips to the heart of the art district – or go on your own self-guided art walk.
