Help the charming City of Gulfport celebrate its upcoming centennial! 

2010 marks the beginning of a new decade and officially marks the City’s 100th birthday!

The public is invited to help celebrate the new decade with an old tradition at the Gulfport First Friday Art Walk on Friday, February 5 from 6-to-10PM.  Plan to participate in this historic milestone and absorb Gulfport’s authentic “Old Florida” atmosphere.

Peruse the work of over 50 artists and crafters, as well as authors, antique dealers and entertainers stretched over a half-mile up and down scenic Beach Boulevard. While browsing the art and craft booths, don’t miss Gulfport’s unique shops, boutiques and galleries. Enjoy dinner at one of over a dozen fine restaurants within the Art District, now one of the foremost dining destinations in the Bay Area. Live entertainers will be appearing at venues throughout the Village. Observe the talented artists at work all along Beach & Shore Boulevards.

Gulfport Art Walk takes place on the First Friday and Third Saturday of every month, year-round. Parking is always available, the event is free, and free trolley rides are available from off-site parking areas, including nearby Catherine Hickman Theatre and Gulfport Public Library.
