Downtown BG Art Walk

Don't be afraid of a little weather! Although the forecast for Saturday is not nice, we've arranged indoor locations for all of our performances and activities except the clock dedication. Bring your umbrella and celebrate with us in Downtown Bowling Green. The galleries are toasty warm and dry and the artists are amazing.
