HUNTINGDON, PA, SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 – Art Walk Huntingdon will take place on the third Thursday of every month with an inaugural event on September 15, 2016 during the hours of 5:00-8:00 PM.
Fourteen businesses have signed on to host arts related events on third Thursdays. Landmarks chairman Matt Price explains, “We are thrilled with the participation from Huntingdon’s business community and artists! This Thursday will be a great kick-off event and will set a high bar for the monthly series.”
The event is an open house format with no defined start or end point. “We encourage people to gather a group of friends and start at a spot that piques their interests, then bounce around town to experience as many places and events as they can,” said Price, adding, “Don’t worry if you can’t make it everywhere…there is always next month!”
