VIBES Edmond’s First Thursday’s May 4th event features the first-ever VIBES Artist Market!

Join us from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the north portion of Downtown Edmond, Campbell St., and north for the Thursday, May 4th VIBES event. Then, head down to The Icehouse Project to continue the good vibes with several Visual Artists, a performance by Tyler Boren, and grab some fantastic local libations at American Solera, The Fried Taco, and Woodward Pizza.

North of Campbell, the VIBES Artist Market will feature 21 Visual Artists selling their artwork, with some demonstrating their creative process. Additionally, Visual Artists can be found inside and out in front of the businesses in this northern area of DTE. As you check out the artwork, enjoy the Kentucky Daisy Band and Katie Bradford music. Don’t miss the Hibiki performance by the Japan-American Taiko Drum Team on the NE corner of Campbell and Broadway.
