The following events are sponsored by the Historic Owego Marketplace Merchant Association. Something to enjoy for every season!
OWEGO ART WALK - Owego holds its "ART WALK" the third Friday of every month from 5-9 pm. Thirteen galleries, art spaces, restaurants and shops showcase more than fifty artists, with refreshments, music, demonstrations and artists on site.
Owego, already known for being the historic village along the river, the outdoor mall with all the wonderful shops is now giving the public another reason to come shop downtown. Artists Receptions give the public the chance to ask all those questions you have wanted to ask your favorite artists. Whether you are searching for the perfect gift or shopping for a piece of art for your home or office, start your search with us. We will offer you a broad range of artists and talents.
Whether you want to treat yourself, that special someone or enjoy a great group of friends on a night out? Head for the village of Owego for a night on the town, have a fabulous dinner in an intimate setting, stroll down the streets of shops and head for the six galleries openings to enjoy the art, the artists, the music and have a night to remember.
