The Final Friday Art Crawl takes place on the final Friday of each month, as its name suggests. Much of Wichita's downtown, Delano district and Arena District participates in the event. Many local galleries offer extended hours on Final Friday, and local restaurants and retail shops feature local artist and musicians. On final Friday guests will see lots of artwork on display and for sale, and live music is common. Each month, roughly 30 (usually even more) businesses get involved in Final Friday, and the month of June is always the biggest. All venues are free and open to the public. Hours vary, but the core hours for the event are 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Free trolley rides are available to transport guests to and from various locations.

By the time he or she crosses the finish line, each runner is a pink, yellow, green, blue and violet masterpiece, and each color is a testament to the hard work put into the race!
