Celebrate the Holidays at the December First Friday Art Walk in La Jolla

The last first Friday of the year is nearly upon us, meaning it’s almost time for the December First Friday Art Walk in La Jolla.

The First Friday Art Walk is a monthly tradition in downtown La Jolla, bringing together art lovers, artists, galleries, and businesses in a town-wide celebration of arts and culture. Those that attend can expect a casual sip, snack, and stroll through some of the finest art galleries and businesses in San Diego’s “jewel.”

Each month, there’s a new theme for the art walk that galleries and businesses can interpret in their own ways. For the December First Friday Art Walk, the theme is appropriately “Holidays.”

Galleries will be showing off and exhibiting all types of artwork, and many provide refreshments and entertainment — making it a top choice for the ultimate art lover’s date in La Jolla.
