SF’s Castro Art Walk 2023 (Every First Friday)

After a two-year hiatus, the Castro Art Walk is back as a regular monthly event, every first Friday of the month!

Please come and (re)discover the coolest arts district in San Francisco – The Castro Arts District.

Participating small businesses extend their business hours to host special events and share artwork with the community. The Castro Art Walk is a self-guided tour through one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in San Francisco.

Please RSVP to receive the latest map and the list of artists and exhibits on the art walk.
