Art Walk is Friday

Downtown Lake Charles is going to look very different this Friday.Instead of just the usual businesses, you'll find Coffee shops, restaurants and all sorts of impromptu galleries all over the 600 to 1000 block s of Ryan Street. Art Walk also features tons of food trucks and outdoor markets.

You'll wish we could have this event every weekend, because downtown lake Charles really comes to life during this one day event. Things get underway at 5p.m. and goes on until 9.
