Art and Antique Walk is coming to Renton

The seventh annual Downtown Renton Art and Antique Walk is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., August 25.

A day of art, antiques and bargain shopping is coming soon to downtown Renton.

The seventh annual Downtown Renton Art and Antique Walk is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., August 25.

More than 60 artists will exhibit their work for sale on the sidewalks along South Third Street between Burnett, Main and Wells Avenue South. Paintings, photography, multi-media, pottery, sculpture and crafts will all be part of the mix.

New this year and part of the festivities is a European car show from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., organized by the Berliner Pub. German and other European cars will be on display in Main Avenue South parking lot across from the pub.

This year organizer Arts Unlimited is hoping for a strong turnout of 1,000 people or more to show up.

Last year’s event brought out about 800 people, according to Jennifer Davis Hayes, Arts Unlimited volunteer.

There will be a kids’ arts, crafts table on the corner of Third and Williams Streets.

The area is more compact this year to create a more vibrant event, said Davis Hayes.

Retailers and restaurants in the area will also offer discounts and specials that Saturday in support of the Art and Antique Walk. Participating businesses include Comic Hut, Berliner Pub, Cedar Chest Antiques, Local 907 and Garland Jewelers.
