August 7, 2026 First Friday ArtWalk

Every First Friday of the month, many art studios and businesses in downtown Elizabeth City are open from 4:00 pm until 7:00 PM-ish for our First Friday ArtWalk! Guest artists along with food and music abound as businesses remain open later and the downtown streets come to life. Come down to see all of our local creativity; stay to dine or sip at one of our independently owned pubs, coffee shops, and restaurant options downtown.

August's interactive ArtWalk map is live! We've got All The Things 3-year Downtown-iversary celebration, along with two new participants: Dry Needling Delivered LLC at the Harbor Centre and The Historic Pool-Lumsden-Peters House with an open house and block party!
