The fourth annual Art Walk and Wine Tasting event returns to downtown Auburn on Friday, featuring local artists and art, fine wines and businesses.

The event runs from 5 to 9 p.m. with more than 20 artists on display selling their handmade quality paintings, mosaics and wearable art in the Main Street businesses serving as temporary galleries.

The event has grown through the years, with organizers providing a separate art walk in the spring and fall.

The event is free, but wine tasting tickets are $20 at the event. Buyers get five 1-ounce tastes and a custom wine glass.

On Friday, a walking map, wine tasting tickets, custom wine glass and ID check will be available at the corner of D Street Southeast and East Main Street (near Zola’s Café) and at the Auburn Downtown Association office, 222 E. Main St.
