Attendees can expect an immersive experience as they shop, sip, and stroll along the beautiful storefronts of Downtown Fort Walton Beach’s Arts & Entertainment District. In addition to the captivating artwork, event-goers can plan on dinner and drinks at one of the area’s many inviting dining establishments.

This year, the Art Walk is introducing an exciting change to the event layout. Artists will now be lined up on both sides of Highway 98, allowing for even more exposure and accessibility to their creations. This will also help avoid the construction taking place downtown.

Although the display will not span the entire length of downtown, it will stretch from around Cowhead and spread eastward until Ferry Road. Artists will also be stationed across the street in front of the Fort Walton Beach Library, ensuring that visitors can access all the incredible talent the city has to offer. 

  • A conveniently located crosswalk at this location will facilitate easy and safe access for attendees..

The 2023 Art Walk in downtown Fort Walton Beach promises an unforgettable series of events that will bring the community together to celebrate local talent and culture. With its inviting atmosphere and diverse range of art, dining, and entertainment options, this year’s Art Walk is a must-attend affair for art enthusiasts, shoppers, and foodies alike. 

Mark your calendars and come join in the festivities as Downtown Fort Walton Beach comes alive with color, creativity, and excitement.
