Martinsville Culture Crawl This Weekend

Celebrate arts and culture in Martinsville! Join the fun by visiting Martinsville's museums, art studios, shops and restaurants from 4 - 8 pm. Special events, including live music and community theatre, will take place at select venues. Martinsville Culture Crawl is a free community event.

NEW! This year, you can enhance your Culture Crawl experience by purchasing a Culture Crawl wristband. Wristbands are $10 each and allow wearers access to special discounts, events and giveaways. Wristbands are also required to ride the Culture Crawl shuttle, which will taxi guests around Uptown during the event. Look for events marked with an * to find wristband-only deals.
