Downtown Elk River will be crawling with artists tomorrow night for the second annual Rivers Edge Art Crawl from 5 to 9 p.m. on Thursday (Oct. 20).

Twenty-four creative individuals engaged in a wide variety of arts will team with 16 local businesses to present the event.

“We are looking forward to a nice evening and lots of people strolling about,” said John Stander, director of the Arts Alliance. “We had a very good turnout last year. We were surprised by the number of people who turned out (last year) and how long they stayed.”

Lively street music, a la New Orleans, will be provided by the Mariachi Band. A wine-tasting event will be held at the Arts Alliance Gallery. Face-painting for children will be offered at the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m.

The event is sponsored by The Rivers Edge Downtown Business Association, Elk River Area Arts Alliance, and Elk River Parks and Recreation.
