The First Friday ArtWalk is celebrated on the first Friday of each month. It is a time when galleries in Downtown Greenville throw open their doors to showcase new exhibits, often coinciding with free opening receptions. But it’s not just art: enjoy Downtown’s eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, and live music venues along your stroll!
The FREE Emerald Express Trolley will run from 5:00pm – 8:00pm during all Downtown Greenville First Friday ArtWalks! Hop aboard our scenic trolley tour circulating through Downtown Greenville from Dickinson Avenue to ECU’s Main Campus, making a full ArtWalk route loop approximately every 20 minutes (construction may affect this timing). You can hop on and off at any stop!
Enjoy amazing artwork, live music, delicious food, and local beer.
