An exciting new season of “Walk on White” art stroll evenings kick off Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, and continue every third Thursday through May 2027, from 6:00-9:00pm.

Launched in 1999 to promote and celebrate Key West’s mid-town gallery district, Walk on White (WOW) grew into an established signature tradition on Key West’s arts calendar, with a variety of White St. galleries, businesses, and destinations opening their doors to the arts loving public.

Those strolling through the WOW district—radiating from a central hub in Fausto’s parking lot, stretching along White Street and spilling into some neighboring streets—can wander among more than a dozen participating locations, discovering a vibrant mix of visual and performing arts along the way. Offerings include the works of painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists, mixed-media artists, artisan jewelers, and writers, along with exhibit openings, artist demos, live music, readings, and complimentary refreshments.

Each monthly event also spotlights a local non-profit organization while providing fun and creative fundraising opportunities for them. Walk on White is sponsored in part by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council. For more information and a list of participating locations, visit www.WalkOnWhiteKeyWest.com.

Walk on White’s next art stroll, set for Thursday, May 21, from 6:00——9:00 p.m., invites locals and visitors to explore one of Key West’s most popular ongoing art traditions. Held on the third Thursday of each month through May, WOW transforms White Street into a lively arts corridor where strollers can discover works by local painters, sculptors, artisan jewelry makers, and ceramic and mixed media artists, along with exhibit openings and creative demonstrations.

Each month, Walk on White (WOW) features an area nonprofit organization. May’s event supports Reach for Greatness, Inc., which raises funds to provide scholarships to summer programs, internships, leadership retreats and other creative opportunities for ambitious, rising 9th-12th grade students in the Florida Keys who might not otherwise have access to scholarships.
