Downtown Hayward’s Free Art Walk Experience (Oct. 2026)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Downtown Hayward Art Walk Experience is a free walking art event featuring local artists displaying artwork for sale at participating downtown businesses. Attendees can pick up a map to explore the locations, visit a community art wall at The Bistro at B Street and Main Street, and hear Ground Up Multi Media Cast at the community art wall.

Original Event Description:
_Something special is happening in Downtown Hayward! The Downtown Hayward ART WALK EXPERIENCE is coming up Saturday, October 10th from 11AM–3PM, and you’re invited!

This is more than just an art show — it’s a chance to explore downtown, support local businesses, meet local artists, and be part of our creative community.

LOCAL ARTISTS THROUGHOUT DOWNTOWN
We’ll have 1–2 local artists set up in front of each participating business, displaying their artwork and connecting with the community. Come say hello, check out their work, and maybe even take a piece of Hayward art home with you!

GRAB A MAP & EXPLORE!
Maps showing all of the participating locations will be available the week of the event at participating businesses and also on the day of the event. Pick one up and create your own walking art tour through Downtown Hayward!

COMMUNITY ART WALL
And YOU get to be part of the art! Stop by the Bistro on the corner of B Street & Main Street and add your own creativity to our community art wall.

🎶 And we’ll have Ground Up Multi Media Cast bringing the sounds and energy to the community art wall!

🍔 Grab a bite.
