The
Tradition Continues
Downtown Frederick’s First Saturday
Gallery Walk
Saturday, June 7
Downtown Frederick’s First Saturday
Gallery Walk continues to gain momentum. Building on the
tremendous success and public response from previous events, Downtown Frederick
will once again roll out the red carpet on Saturday, June 7, inviting the
public to enjoy the best that Frederick has to offer. Mark your calendars for the June 7 event and join more than 60
galleries, shops and restaurants as they showcase the best of historic
downtown. Mingle with featured guest
artists, view new exhibits at local galleries and enjoy music, live
entertainment and special events at downtown restaurants and shops. Sample light fare and sweet treats at
specialty stores and check out new product lines for the summer.
Coinciding with June’s First Saturday Gallery Walk is the Frederick
Festival of the Arts. The Festival,
which will take place Saturday, June 7 (10 a.m. - 6 p.m.) and Sunday, June 8
(10 a.m. - 5 p.m.), will be located along the Carroll Creek Linear Park. Come and enjoy juried arts and crafts at the
Festival’s 10th anniversary celebration. While at the Festival be sure and stop by the Greater Frederick
Development Corporation’s information booth and pick up literature on downtown
merchants, as well as a brochure outlining the evening’s events for the First
Saturday Gallery Walk. Enter to win
either an original work of art by artist and former Mayor of Frederick, Ron
Young, or a gift basket filled with merchandise and gift certificates from many
of downtown’s First Saturday Gallery Walk participants.
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.
