The story

About this festival.

Downtowners Art & Wine Walk is the Downtowners of Bismarck's annual evening stroll through the historic downtown of Bismarck, North Dakota, pairing a different wine, light appetizers and an artist or musician at each participating business. The 15th annual edition was Thursday, June 11, 2026. Tickets were $42 in advance and $48 late, online only, and the walk is 21 and over, rain or shine.

Check-in is at Gallery 522 in the Logan Building at 120 North 3rd Street, where you collect a map and a passport; a stamp at every stop enters you for the grand prize, and walkers vote for the best business-and-artist pairing and best wine. The wines are curated by Southern Glazer's and stocked afterward at Captain Jack's and Williquor's. Proceeds fund the Downtowners' revitalization work.
