On the first Friday of every month, Baker City residents and visitors alike celebrate the art community by "hopping" from one gallery to another, sharing wine and hor'deurves, stories and enjoying the variety of new art pieces showcased in each location. During First Friday Art Walk, music sounds through the streets, retail shops are open late, restaurants are overflowing, and many artists are available to discuss their work. Festivities in Downtown Baker City get underway about 5 p.m. every First Friday.
