Downtown Frederick’s First Saturday Gallery Walk

Saturday, July 5

 

Continue your Independence Day celebration in historic Downtown Frederick with First Saturday Gallery Walk.  Saturday, July 5, the community is once again invited to experience First Saturday Gallery Walk.  Mark your calendar for the July 5 event and join over 60 participating galleries, shops and restaurants as they showcase the best of Downtown Frederick.  Mingle with featured guest artists, view new exhibits at local galleries and enjoy music, live entertainment and special events at downtown shops.  Sample light fare and sweet treats at specialty stores and check out new product lines for summer. 

 

“First Saturday Gallery Walk is a great way to check out what’s new downtown,” states downtown resident Elizabeth Johnson.  “I am thrilled to see new businesses that are unique to the area and are not found at a mall,” she continues.  Local resident Tammy Barns adds, “I enjoy the upbeat atmosphere First Saturday Gallery Walk brings to the streets.  I’ve told friends who live in DC to come and they were equally impressed.”

 

First Saturday Gallery Walk is a monthly event sponsored by the Greater Frederick Development Corporation (GFDC) in cooperation with downtown merchants, the Tourism Council of Frederick County, and the City’s Department of Economic Development.
