Island City, Inc. is pleased to announce the third season of the Island City Art Walk, which will resume on November 21, 2008, due to popular demand. The Island City Art Walk will be held on the 3rd Friday of each month, 7:00 – 10:00 p.m., November through April, along Wilton Drive, in the Wilton Manors Art and Entertainment District. The official par-ticipants include galleries, eclectic stores, cafes, boutiques and upscale restaurants, which host over 40 local artists. Wilton Manors, the “Island City," was founded in the 1920's, incorporated in 1947 as the Village of Wilton Manors and became an official city in 1953.

Currently, the town is in a fast-paced redevelopment transition. The addition of new contemporary loft buildings and many upscale, creative businesses and restaurants along the 1.1 mile Wilton Drive are bringing new life and vitality to this urban village.

Come and enjoy an evening of fun in one of South Florida’s most eclectic neighborhoods. The Island City Art Walk is free to the public. Have an early dinner in Wilton Manors then take a stroll or ride the free Sun Trolley up and down “The Drive.” View the art, people watch, and make new friends. Wine and cheese and other treats will be served in many of the participating businesses.
