Now that the weather is getting nicer, The Art Walk is making its triumphant return. Looks like the event is going to be even bigger this year.

Just in case you're new to Wichita Falls. The Art Walk is an event that happens the first Thursday of every month in downtown Wichita Falls from April to October. Basically local artists and vendors setup in downtown Wichita Falls to show off their skills. Pretty much the entirety of downtown Wichita Falls turns into one big party. Many businesses stay open later with all the extra foot traffic downtown. The event starts around 5:30pm. and goes to around 9pm.

After Hours Artwalk Now Closing an Entire Street for the Event

Obviously for many years, local artists and vendors setup on the sidewalks in front of different downtown businesses or at the Farmer's Market. This year Indiana Avenue, between 7th and 8th Streets, will be entirely shut down to street traffic. Allowing an open air art gallery in the middle of the street. If you're a local artist and want to reserve a space in this location, more info can be found on the Downtown Wichita Falls website.

This event typically brings seven to eight thousand people to downtown Wichita Falls. I will let you know, the Art Walks earlier in the year, tend to be more busy before the brutal Wichita Falls summer temperatures hit. If you're an artist or vendor and want to sell your stuff at the Art Walk in 2025, you can get some resources on the Downtown Wichita Falls website.
