It’s time for another installment of Fayetteville’s favorite art walk and outdoor festival.
First Thursday Fayetteville returns to the square on July 2, for an evening of live music, food trucks, local beer, and of course, an art walk featuring dozens of local artists and crafters selling their wares along the square.
Here’s what we know about this month’s event.
