Bishop Arts District FREE Saturday Morning Guided Walking Tour & Optional Lunch After.

Join us for a leisurely stroll through Bishop Arts District, one of the most historic and fun places to visit in Dallas - with of course lots of great art, including shops and murals, and a variety of places to eat.

Bishop Arts District can get crowded during the afternoons and evenings, so let's visit on Saturday morning when there are fewer people. : )

The Bishop Arts District is a small shopping and entertainment district in north Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas (USA), near the intersection of Bishop Street and Davis Street. The Bishop Arts District is immediately southwest of Downtown Dallas.

The Bishop Arts District is home to over 60 boutiques, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, theaters and art galleries. Located in the heart of North Oak Cliff and only five minutes from downtown, we boast one of Dallas' most unique neighborhoods with our historical shopping district full of great finds, good eats, and good ol' Oak Cliff charm! While many of the shops stay open late on the weekends to provide a fun shop, stroll, and eat environment for visitors, the Bishop Arts District is populated with many independently-owned businesses.

Event Details ...

Cost: FREE for the guided walking tour! The optional lunch = $$$.

Parking: A variety of options throughout the area.

Before the Event: 9:00 - 9:15 am socializing at “The Salty”.

Meeting Point: 9:15 at “The Salty” doughnut and coffee shop (414 West Davis - Dallas) - great food and beverages and restroom (arrive early). Look for your host Robert (wearing a fedora-style hat) with a group of friendly people.

Icebreaker Introductions: We should have a good-sized group so instead of everyone introducing themselves to the group we will get to know each other by distributing blank stickers and colored markers and we’ll ask everyone to write down on their sticker: 1). first name. 2). favorite food. 3). dream vacation. Example: “Michele - Strawberries - Fiji” or “Robert - Chocolate - Tokyo”.

Itinerary: At 9:15 am we’ll depart The Salt and proceed south on Bishop Avenue, although we’ll often be detouring down some of the side streets. There is a lot of great art, particularly murals, and many nice shops and restaurants.

After the Event: Optional lunch afterward at a TBD location?

Additional Questions: Anything that can't be answered by the event description, Google, or common sense, please let us know.
