Auburn’s annual Autumn Art Walk and Wine Tasting event returns Friday for an evening of music, local artists and art, fine wines and downtown businesses.

Washington artists will display and sell original, handmade-quality paintings, mosaics and wearable art work in temporary galleries at west-side Main Street businesses from 5 to 9 p.m.

The art walk is free, but wine tasting tickets are $15 pre-sale, $20 at the event. The ticket provides five 1-ounce tastes and a custom wine glass. Pre-sale tickets are online at www.auburnartwalk.com, or through the Auburn Downtown Association office, 402 E. Main St., Suite 150, Station Bistro, 110 Second St. SW, No. 125, U-float, 124 E. Main St., Gosanko Chocolate, 116 A St. NE, and Shoe Forest & More, 113 E. Main St.

Wine tastings offer quality regional wines. Participating wineries will have bottles available for sale in the event wine shop at the Rainbow Cafe, 112 E. Main St.
