First Friday Artwalk in Chinatown
Downtown Honolulu
On the first Friday of each month there is an art walk
and festival in old town Honolulu on the eastern edge
of Chinatown and the western edge of the Honolulu
business district. See also
First Friday Schedule.
The Chinatown First Friday Art Walk takes place once
a month in a 12 block area with many art-related
galleries and businesses, several performance art
venues, an alternative movie theater, and some of
Honolulu's most popular nightclubs and restaurants,
all housed in historic Honolulu buildings.
The Honolulu First Friday Art Walk is sometimes called the
Downtown Honolulu Gallery Walk, and it was founded
in May of 2003 by the
ARTS at Marks Garage, a downtown Honolulu community
arts project funded in 2001 using seed money provided
by the City and County of Honolulu.
On the first Friday of every month, many of the
galleries, shops, and cafes in Chinatown and
downtown Honolulu remain open until at least 9:00 pm,
drawing more then 2000 Hawaii residents and visitors
to the area. There are often special events scheduled
on First Friday also, such as art exhibition openings,
demonstrations, lectures, and receptions.
