Edmond's First Thursdays, the monthly open-air art walk event, is back for its 3rd season beginning on Thursday, April 6th!

Join us on a 1st Thursday of the month, April-October, from 6:00 - 9:00pm, to celebrate creativity and community in support of local artists and small businesses during this free event held throughout Downtown Edmond.

VIBES highlights a variety of creative talent "housed" in participating businesses. Community members are invited to stroll, sip, see, and join in the fun. VIBES supports local businesses while generating a family-friendly art hub in central Oklahoma. The Edmond Fine Arts Institute, a 501c3 arts nonprofit located in the heart of downtown at 27 East Edwards, facilitates this creative collaboration.

This year VIBES is excited to announce that 81 Visual Artists, 33 Performing Artists, and more than 45 Downtown Businesses are participating in the events for the 2023 season. Enjoy performances by musicians, dance groups, and more throughout the season. Also, check out monthly special features, including the crowd favorite "Paint Off", Plein Air Paint Night, Live on the Lawn Drawing, and more!

VIBES is thankful for the businesses that generously sponsor these monthly events, including Headline Sponsors Citizens Bank and Mercy, and many more.
