The First Friday ArtWalk is celebrated on the first Friday of each month. It is a time to enjoy Downtown’s eclectic mix of restaurants, galleries, shops, and live music venues along your stroll! Enjoy amazing artwork, live music, delicious food, and local beer.
The FREE Emerald Express Trolley will run from 5:00pm – 9:00pm during all Downtown Greenville First Friday ArtWalks! Hop aboard our scenic trolley tour circulating through Downtown Greenville from Dickinson Avenue to ECU’s Main Campus, making a full ArtWalk route loop approximately every 20 minutes (construction may affect this timing).
Park your car and ride the trolley to meet up with friends and explore your city. You can hop on and off at any stop!
