Art Walk San Jose Del Cabo

We heard about this online and wanted to check it out. Lots of cute shops and streets to explore. Parking was a challenge, but we only had to walk about 2 blocks to get to the outer streets. Plenty of food and desert vendors. Could eat there easily. We did not, but were tempted.

This was a great experience. San Jose de Cabo has many galleries with exquisite art and on this night (Thursday) they close the roads to cars so it is very nice to stroll and enjoy the art. A lot of local artists snd artisans also put their booths and sell their crafts. There are musicians, food stalls and the crowds make it a beautiful experience. We went in early May so it was not high season but the crowd was just right to make it exciting without being too crowded. Restaurants are also fantastic

It is a must if you go to Cabo. There are tours that can take you there from Cabo but if you rent a car you have more freedom. It is very festive and many artists show their art that is very interesting. There are also nice galleries, stores and restaurants. We regretted we did not go earlier.

Beautiful event! Loved strolling the streets of el Centro, admiring all kinds of art (sooo many talented artists and artisans!), listening to live music everywhere, and people enjoying themselves. Loved it!

This was so good! Loved seeing all the art and all the people walking around. It was such a lovely atmosphere. Felt like I was back in time with all the people and families walking around. Highly recommend going and definitely waiting a bit after 5 pm so all the artists have their art up.

Loved the art walk in San Jose. We were so happy to attend. We grabbed a great dinner in town at Come a Casa and then wandered around at the lovely shops and galleries. The artists lined the square where they had performers who were so talented. Just a great experience. San Jose is also to visit anytime.

The art walk was lovely, lots of cool art and vendors were nice and welcoming. Art ranging from painting, Mexican folk art to woven goods and custom hats. Also vendors selling tamales and churros, plus more food. The historic downtown where the art walk takes place is very cute with lots of restaurants and bars. Was a great experience and would definitely go back.

A must go to on a Thursday night if you’re staying in San Jose de Cabo. Great vibes. Eat the street food, walk around with a drink and buy from the local stands.

Nice evening activity in San Jose. Great galleries w some unique pieces - favorites were the Interactive Gallery, beadwork by local artists and tree bark art (dyed and woven or cut in shapes - quite amazing artistry). The usual jewelry stores and clothing stores. No hard sell which is appreciated.

I'm really glad that I happen to be in San José del Cabo on a Thursday. As the artwalk happens in evening from 5 pm to 9 pm. This event is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and appreciate the artistic talent that the town has to offer. Getting an opportunity to stroll through the art district, meet different artist and chance to wine and dine.

The San Jose del Cabo art Walk is famous in San Jose, especially during the month of summer. The event only takes place on Thursday evening between 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. A very family friendly event with live music and lots of local arts and crafts on display. San José Art Walk "San Jose del Cabo Art Walk is a popular weekly event held every Thursday evening from 5-9pm between the months of November and June. This event was established,  promoted and organized by the Gallery District Association in the hopes of drawing art lovers and tourists away from the Main Square and into our color-filled back streets located behind the church. With it's popularity growing over the years, the local government decided to close the main street of Obregon to car traffic in order to accommodate all of the visitors to our District every Thursday evening."

Had a great time here. I'm a sucker for the arts and this weekly festival did not disappoint. I saw so much amazing art. Got to take a photo with the Cabo San Jose sign and got some fresh made churros. Bonus points for getting a bar/balcony seat on the rooftop of garage while I was there. The people are lovely and vibrant and the atmosphere is rich with culture. If you find yourself in Cabo on a Thursday, you have to check out the art walk happening every Thursday from 5p-9p.

The town of San Jose del Cabo holds an art festival every Thursday evening from 4:30-9:00pm. We Uber'ed up there from the Dreams resort for about $15. San Jose is very old town with a cool public square surrounded by the church and many stores, bars and restaurants. The Art Walk has booths with local crafts people selling their wares and paintings. All very cool. My buddy and I went to a rooftop bar for a cerveza while the wife's shopped. Great service from the cantina staff. It was a fun experience and we all enjoyed seeing another side of Los Cabo's.

There was definitely a lot to see and do! Hundreds of booths and locals selling different pieces of art, which is interesting in itself, but the people watching is the most entertaining. There are so many bustling little restaurants and bars that only get busy on Thursdays so definitely make reservations if you're planning to have dinner down in the area. It was a fun little evening out.

We couldn't make it to a Thursday night so we went on a Tuesday night instead.Such a charming and beautiful town! We enjoyed beers at Baja Brewing and checked out all the shops. We made a point of going in late afternoon and staying for the Sunset.

Art Walk was quite the event. It's only on Thursday evening at certain times of the year, so check the schedule before you go. As a patron of other art walks and festivals in the U.S., I had certain expectations of what it would be like. This was more like a carnival than a traditional art walk where you simply admire the art. There was lots of noise, street vendors, musical acts, dancing. All very cool. I enjoyed the street art the best. But I didn't see many actual galleries--lots of jewelry stores, knick-knack shops, and pharmacies--tons of pharmacies, but not many art galleries. Maybe we didn't go on the right street, but we walked around a lot. I never did get a chance to enjoy a nice wine while I looked at art in a gallery (the wine came later when we were at a restaurant waiting for the Uber driver to pick us up. In fact, Uber is a great way to get to and from this festival rather than trying to drive yourself and worry about parking). One must do if you go to the Art Walk is visit the mission and take some pics by the San Jose del Cabo sign with the church in the background. It's a must-do photo op that a bazillion people (including myself) did while there. The long and short of it is if you expect to hear violins quietly playing Bach in the background while you sip a fine Cabernet as you admire local art, this isn't the event for you. But, if you enjoy a festive atmosphere with lots of stimuli and some cool street art, this is the place for you.

The San Jose Art Walk was an *excellent* event. Artwork of all kinds from local artisans--paintings, sculptures, textiles, pottery, silver. If you love art...go. If you're looking for an authentic piece of MX culture (souvenirs)...go. Don't worry about making dinner reservations; eat from the food trucks--tamales, street corn, churros. Many of the bars/restaurants offer cocktails to-go. The Art Walk is a #1 event for visits to Los Cabos.

Such a fun activity if your in Cabo for the week! This Art walk happens every Thursday and it show cases local artists. There are also food and street vendors + music! I also recommend checking out this area of San Jose any time during your visit. This little area has many bars, restaurants, and cute stores!

The night market changes your perspective of this place of the plaza mijares. We came during the day and it was not the same energy; most of the shops were closed during the day except for the few that most people are not interested in like the souvenir shops. When the sun is down the place comes alive with the energy of the city. Lots of beautiful pieces of art and artists. Overall, this place is a must visit if you are in San Jose del Cabo.

This was my favorite activity to do in Cabo. The Art Walk happens every Thursday from 5pm - 9pm. I feel like we needed more time to see everything. The art walk centers in the town center which is loaded with vendors. There are plenty of art galleries in the area. Plenty of bars as well. You must visit this place.

What a beautiful place San Jose Del Cabo. Went on Thursday night for the art walk, so many amazing artists there. A hidden Laguna Beach!

Amazing experience. The art, the town, the music and food. All worth a trip too experience

A MUST do activity if you are in San Jose del Cabo. Thursday is the day that they actually have the art walk so make sure to come then, but if not any day of the week they have shops in this area that sell the local art. Thursday they have live performances In the street and local artist come with their beautiful painting there it is much more lively than coming a different day. I bought shoes from one of the vendors. They were wedges with handmade weaving to create a really cool design that laced the shoe together! Really wanted to buy everything here if I was able to fit it all into my suitcase! One of my favorite creations is the beaded animals. First they carve the sculpture out of wood then place hundreds to thousands of beads on the carvings to make them bright and colorful. This is also the spot where the San Jose del Cabo sign is, great for a photo op with a group.

Unbelievable experience!! Such a great find for a Thursday night to begin our trip to cabo. I read about this online and instantly knew this would be an event for us. Being from New Orleans, we can appreciate great art as we have similar row of galleries back home. This was similar but with an added street market feel w/ a spanish twist. There were bands playing, market stops, people dancing, art everywhere, and amazing street vendors selling food. I would definitely recommend this even should you be in Cabo on a Thursday night.

An absolute must on a Thursday evening! Such beautiful art work and crafts it was one of the highlights of our trip! If you plan to eat in the area be sure to make reservations.

This was probably one of my most favorite parts of my trip to Cabo! My boyfriend and I were staying in downtown Cabo, but I heard about this when doing research for our trip and decide we MUST visit. I LOVE art in all forms and there was soooooo much of it! It created such a euphoric atmosphere for me and my boyfriend. Thursdays are the days that they actually host the Art Walk, so that's when we decided to come. There were a few live bands performing and several vendors selling all kinds of things. You can also walk around and there are shops in the area that also have art for sale. Plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops as well. Very family friendly environment. Just an amazing time overall! We got churros from a food truck and they were delish! Definitely one of the things I'll do again whenever I'm back in Cabo.

Lucas and Brian are one of the best to have on a tour in Old Town. They were knowledgeable and took us to the real local spots for Tequila and art.

It's so nice to see all of the local artists selling their arts & crafts. There's street food in case you didn't make restaurant reservations for the evening.

This is a amazing place. I love every thing in the store . Best place to buy gifts for your love .

Every Thursday night in San Jose Del Cabo there is an art walk right next to the church. I have always wanted to go to this and always missed it because we always arrive on Thursdays. I am SOOOOO glad I didn't miss out this time. It was one of the most memorable events I have ever been to while down in San Jose. Wonderfully original art work of all types is displayed here. The majority of the many art galleries in San Jose participate. And some are street art vendors. All impressive work. I will have my husband post a picture later of one of my favorite pieces. Majority of the art on display is worth buying and if I had been smart enough to figure out how to ship something home I would have bought more. Instead we bought what could be taken home in our suitcase. There was a fun band providing the musical entertainment and let me tell you the lead singer was HOT. So if you happen to be in San Jose on a Thursday evening (I believe the walk starts at 6PM) then do not miss out on the art walk. You will love it.

It was a good evening walk. Only downside is it's definitely very tourist/ foreigner oriented. Don't expect to get an authentic Mexican experience.

It was exciting to be in the Los Cabos area for all saints day and Deerstill mortals. The Art Walk is a very community oriented event and it was cool to walk around and see local artists. Transportation into the market area and out is very tricky but catching an Uber is definitely some thing you are able to do.

Had a wonderful time at the Art Walk in San Jose Del Cabo. Definitely safe and family friendly (took three small children). They enjoyed the live music/dancing performances, plus all the vendors set up. We especially loved seeing artist create as they were sitting there (woman basket weaving, woman painting, etc). Would recommend. You could go early and have a meal around the plaza. It definitely surprised and delighted us. We took an Uber- Safe quick and easy.

Was not impressed with the art and flea market quality art and fair quality gifts for kids. Purchased a blow up spider man for my 20 month old for $5 and when I looked closer in the taxi, it looked like Edward scissor hands attacked the Spider-Man with all the slashes and blue to repair the darn thing to hold air ! Only a few good vendors, tamale lady and tostada cart. Not kid friendly. Maybe with the warm weather all the fun I read about art walk was hidden

Very cool area with much going on Thursday nights from 6 to 9. Walk to see restaurants, bars and galleries. Easy drive from Cabo.

Great way to explore Artistic side of San Jose- the event is from 6 till 9 but sometimes it starts earlier. Fun Fact: Mexico allows its artist to pay their taxes with their artwork. This is a great chance to explore and get to know the fine art of contemporary artists from Mexico. Live music plays in the square and festive mood is pretty much everywhere.

This downtown space is just fun! The art walk was smaller than I was expecting compared to other cities. Quite a few painting artists but also crafts. It was a good mix of art walk with brick and mortar art galleries down the many streets of downtown.
