San José del Cabo Art Walk
Weekly gallery walk through the historic art district
Overview
Every Thursday evening from November through June, the historic art district of San José del Cabo comes alive with the legendary Art Walk. This beloved tradition transforms the cobblestone streets into an open-air gallery experience.
Dozens of galleries open their doors, offering wine, appetizers, and the chance to meet artists in person. From contemporary Mexican masters to international sculptors, the range of art is impressive and accessible.
The Art Walk is more than just art – it's a social event where locals and visitors mingle, live music fills the plazas, and the charming colonial architecture glows under the evening lights.
