The remaining dates for Art Night in Old Town include Thursday, July 21; Thursday, August 18; Thursday, September 15; and Thursday, October 20.
Do not miss out on the fully immersive art experience. If you cannot make it to each destination in one night, come for the fall dates. Each location is also open at their own business hours, so you can plan visits in between Art Nights.
