May 4, 2017 First Thursday

Art Galleries & Studios dot the old Downtown San Pedro area. Attend an artist opening reception or watch artists at work.

Restaurants: You’re in for a real treat visiting San Pedro’s restaurants. The cuisine ranges from English Pub to Mexican Cafes, Mediterranean to Italian, Japanese to California Cuisine, Thai, Organic Raw Vegan Cuisine, Cuban and others.

Shops: Take a walk down memory lane visiting art galleries and shops along 6th and 7th Streets. The “Tivoli Lights” criss crossing the streets makes it feel like you’re going to a special party and set the mood for a fun evening.

During the Art Walk in Downtown San Pedro make a stop at the Garden Church (429 6th Street) to enjoy live music from local artists in our urban farm and sanctuary. With picnic tables and lot of seating we are a great stop to enjoy your food truck fare as you explore all the creativity on display.

The First Thursday Artwalk Tour is different every month – new artists in town, galleries with rotating exhibits, and artists that have been part of the Arts District for years. Each month the tour lasts about one hour and visits different artists and galleries, providing an overview and introduction to San Pedro’s lively Arts District. Visitors enjoy interacting with the artists and curators, learning about the artists’ techniques and inspiration.

The tour begins at 6:30 in the Chamber of Commerce Board Room Gallery.
