Art Nite Opens Healdsburg's Four-Day Design Celebration

HEALDSBURG, CA — The first-Thursday downtown gallery walk is bringing art and entertainment together again in Healdsburg, while a four-day design festival opens with more events still to explore.

Art Nite Healdsburg will open 21 participating downtown galleries Thursday, the same day Design Healdsburg begins a four-day run of events.

The free gallery walk runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday.

This month’s “Drafts, Design and Art in Spaces” theme brings draft and nonalcoholic beer and pretzels from Santa Rosa’s Wooden Pedal.

Visitors can pick up a free passport at any participating gallery and collect a stamp at each stop.

Three or more stamps make them eligible for perks at participating restaurants and tasting rooms when they show their passports.

Art Nite’s newest gallery partner is True West Film Center, the nonprofit cinema and cultural hub. Visitors can look inside its cinemas and see what is playing during the gallery walk.

Design Healdsburg 2026 runs from Thursday to Oct. 4. Admission varies by event, and some sessions are free.

Kalderra, a Design Healdsburg community partner and Art Nite co-sponsor, has also launched the Healdsburg Culture Crew, a volunteer hub for arts and culture events throughout the year. The crew starts with Design Healdsburg.

Art Nite takes place on the first Thursday of each month from April through December. A list of participating galleries and more information are available on the Art Nite Healdsburg website.
