This Friday, September 27th, from 5PM – 9PM,
marks the 17th annual Gallery Promenade, which celebrates the art
spaces all across the lake area. For one night, galleries, museums, art studios
and unconventional art spaces will open their doors to the public, free of
charge, to celebrate their year-round efforts at promoting the best culture of
the region. J&R Carriage will offer free carriage rides (Please give
them a donation as a thank you!) along Ryan Street and to Central School (809
Kirby St) and there will also be pedicab rides available in downtown Lake Charles.
