First Friday on Santa Fe is Denver's longest-running art walk, and the August edition is its biggest, when the district closes Santa Fe Drive to cars between roughly 6th and 11th avenues. Galleries open late, street performers fill the pavement, and the closure turns the corridor into a walkable open-air gallery.
Admission is free and the event runs into the evening. The closure means street parking disappears; the nearest light rail is the 10th and Osage station, a short walk east of the district.
