Downtown Events     
LIFE HAPPENS HERE!
Wichita's hub for arts and entertainment is Downtown.
Final Friday 
Friday, September 27 
 
As the name implies, Final Friday happens the last Friday of each month. Art galleries, museums, restaurants and retail shops around Wichita stay open late and welcome visitors. Recognizing that Downtown is the artistic and cultural center for the region, the Q-line trolly service transports art lovers to the concentration of venues in Downtown. The ride is free and allows attendees to park once and visit several galleries. Learn more
