Main Street Morgantown will hold its Summer Arts Walk from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. July 13 in Downtown Morgantown.
The public is encouraged to see the many artisans, makers and sellers offering an array of handmade goods, along with live music and food trucks.
The event continues a vibrant events calendar of over 40 downtown events in conjunction with Main Street Morgantown’s 40th anniversary celebration.
Returning by popular demand, the Vintage Pop-Up Market, a hit at past events like Small Business Saturday and the Spring Arts Walk, will be located at Walnut and High streets. Organized by Morgantown Art Party, this addition will showcase a dozen vendors offering unique vintage items.
The Summer Arts Walk theme, “100 Years of Entertainment,” celebrates the centennial of the Metropolitan Theatre and Don Knotts’ birthday, as part of a community-wide celebration with a focus on the arts and entertainment history of downtown Morgantown.
This Summer Arts Walk complements the City of Morgantown and Morgantown Magazine in their celebration, “A Century of Entertainment: Morgantown’s Metropolitan Theatre and Don Knotts Commemorate 100-Year Milestone.” Events will take place at the Metropolitan Theatre July 20-24 and feature various offerings, including a marathon of films featuring the legendary Don Knotts, special guest speakers and
performances.
Main Street Morgantown events attract significant foot traffic downtown, drawing people of all ages across the city and state. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Main Street Morgantown, and the organization, along with its affiliates, will host more than 40 events downtown in 2024.
Main Street Morgantown organizes Arts Walks with support from the City of Morgantown, Monongalia County Commission, Morgantown Parking Authority and West Virginia University. For updates on featured artists and their locations, follow @mainstreetmorgantown on Facebook and Instagram.
