2nd Friday Art Walk. Take a stroll and see!
The once a month art walk event draws residents and visitors from all over the area who enjoy the opportunity to view a wide variety of artwork on display from local and regional artists while socializing with friends and merchants.
Commercial locations in Colonial Beach provide space to exhibit the fine workmanship. Many of the locations are near the Town Commons and include local shops, Bed & Breakfasts and restaurants. Brochures, maps and information are available at each participating location. Held year-round the 2nd Friday of each month from 6:00pm - 9:00pm, admission is free, and free parking is readily available on the street and in several local lots. There's even a shuttle that travels the route:

One of the places I visited was the Wide River Gallery, and there was a good crowd in attendance, admiring the items on the gallery walls, talking and snacking on some yummy appetizers.
At the Jarrett Thor Gallery I was blown away by an amazing Giclee print of The Bell House Bed & Breakfast, former home of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell. It was just stunning.
