What is it?

First Friday Artwalk is Steamboat’s monthly celebration of creativity. On the first Friday of every month from 5-8 p.m., downtown comes alive with local art, live music and a vibrant community scene.

Where to Go

Stroll through galleries, shops and cafés showcasing work from local and regional artists. Meet the makers, sip on complimentary wine and soak in the inspiration. Keep an eye out for pop-up exhibits and live art demonstrations – often at Zandee Gallery and Steamboat Creates at the Depot Art Center.

Live Tunes and Good Vibes

Many stops, like Jace Romick Gallery, feature live music, adding a festive soundtrack to your evening. Expect anything from bluegrass jams to soulful acoustic sets – because in Steamboat, we do après with style.

Sip and Savor

Pair your artwalk with a craft cocktail, local brew or a cozy cup of cocoa at stops like Rumor Design & reDesign or The Westerly. Some venues offer free refreshments, making it a great way to explore without breaking the bank.

When and Where

First Friday of every month | 5-8 p.m. | Downtown Steamboat Springs. Don’t rush. Wander, chat and take it all in. The alpenglow might fade, but the inspiration sticks around.
