Evening walks on Lopez Village are magical: from sunsets over Weeks Wetland or Fisherman Bay to quaint walks through the Tranquility Trail of urban forest life, natural beauty and local human and more-than-human community abound. Lopezians are very lucky to be neighbors to the vibrant bird life singing at dusk or swooping over marshes across the watercolor painted sky. It’s no wonder Lopez inspires artists of all mediums to create work here.
Local artists and businesses are the generative center of Lopez arts and culture, and are at the center of the new monthly community event, First Saturday Art Walk. These Art Walks offer a free and easy opportunity to enjoy the arts on the island while mixing and mingling with new and old friends.
As the name says, the First Saturday Art Walk takes place the first Saturday of each month beginning at 4:30 pm and is a free, self guided event located in the Village of Lopez Island. Activities include artist exhibitions and talks, live entertainment, food trucks, and specials at local participating restaurants and businesses. Each month has a variety of offerings from interactive demonstrations to performances.
