GREENVILLE, N.C.— The First Friday ArtWalk is a time when galleries Downtown throw open their doors to showcase new exhibits, often coinciding with free opening receptions.

But it’s not just art: enjoy Downtown’s eclectic mix of restaurants and shops along your stroll. Along with the ArtWalk, Downtown Greenville Partnership is excited to announce the return of the Emerald Express Trolly that will be running during the First Friday ArtWalk events for the whole season.

The trolly will be running from 5:00 pm- 8:00 pm and will have stops throughout the Downtown district and in front of participating businesses.

Join Greenville monthly, on the first Friday from 5:00-8:00 pm for an evening of culture, art, and cuisine. Grab a bite at one of Downtown’s 34 unique restaurants while in the heart of the city.
