First Friday Art Walk Oceanside
“Our Art Walk events held at Spring Hill Suites by Marriott are always our best attended and this month’s event will be no exception. We have over 70 local artists, musicians and food/beverage vendors who will be occupying the downstairs lobby and second floor roof deck and anticipate more than 1,000 people attending,” says Susan Brown, president of the Oceanside Friends of the Arts.
Visitors will have the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of original artwork from local artists and artwork raffles benefitting “Dollars For Dreams”, will be held on the second floor of Spring Hill Suites. Local participating businesses include Whitlock Surf, Century 21 and Harcourts Properties. Complimentary raffle tickets will be available at Century 21 for a free Beach Cruiser and at Whitlock Surf for a free Family Pack of Surf Lessons, when you stop by their tables in the south lobby of the Spring Hill Suites. Doughside Donuts, Misadventure Vodka, Golden Coast Mead, Masters Kitchen & Cocktail and Hello Betty will also be serving complimentary samples from their menus.
Steelin’ Tin Band will perform upstairs on the Hello Betty upper deck. Singer-Guitarist Melody Mejia will debut as an Art Walk performer on the south side of the upper deck. Steve Davidson will be crooning in the south lobby. And Aki Burkes will lead his hypnotic drum circle by the fire pit near the main hotel entrance.
