Plan Ahead: Olympia Fall Arts Walk

By Nikki McCoy on September 26, 2013

Before entertainment moves indoors, and the comedy and theater season swings into play (check out our Fall Arts Guide), Olympia likes to have one more outdoor celebration - Fall Arts Walk.

Nearly 100 businesses will open their doors and sidewalks to artists, musicians and performers for two days, allowing Olympia to showcase, network and entertain.

A stroll through town with or without an interactive guide will promise to be a treasure trove of delight. More than 250 artists will saturate the town with creativity.

Look for art in all places; perhaps stumble across a wine tasting while observing oil paintings. Expect street musicians, live art and surprising mediums.

Stephanie Johnson, arts and events manager for the city of Olympia, says, "Arts Walk is always new" because, while she provides the framework, it's the businesses and artists that get to collaborate in new and exciting ways.

OLYMPIA FALL ARTS WALK, 5-10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., downtown Olympia, free admission, 360.753.8380
