First Friday Salinas Features Art, Music, and Food of the Salinas Valley reposted by Ruth Paget

While driving through downtown Salinas (California), I saw a banner for First Friday Salinas.  

This monthly event features art and music produced by Salinas area artists as part of the Salinas Valley Arts Incubator Ecosystem matching up artists with the community and potential buyers.  

First Friday also showcases regional cuisine from organic producers.

First Friday helps make the arts part of engaged community life in Salinas.  All of downtown becomes an art fair with live music, artists, outstanding food for purchase, and a relaxed atmosphere for learning about the art produced in Salinas Valley.  

Strolling during this event also provides some light, pleasurable exercise that you can measure with wearable techmed.

Note: There is garage parking available downtown by the Steinbeck Center.
