The SummerNight Downtown Art Walk is an arts festival that transforms downtown Auburn into its very own arts district, featuring the work of local and regional artists, live musicians, great food and children's activities. Each year, the City of Auburn / Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center (JDCAC), Auburn Arts Association, Auburn Downtown Merchants Association and St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church host this event to highlight the many talented artists in our community in addition to promoting our unique downtown area.

During this event, downtown merchants and restaurants remain open after regular business hours and people of all ages are encouraged to take advantage of this great opportunity to shop, dine and relax while enjoying the arts in downtown Auburn. Artists have works on display and live musical entertainment is provided. Make sure to bring your children too as they have an opportunity to participate in arts and crafts, as well as enjoy other attractions that change each year! Don’t miss out on this great, family-friendly experience in downtown Auburn.

Live Entertainment and Activities:
Auburn SummerNight Downtown Art Walk truly has something for everyone down to the youngest members of our community. SummerNight will feature a children's area with arts and crafts, face painting, children's inflatables and more.
