CUMBERLAND — The Downtown Cumberland Arts and Entertainment District will host its final Saturday Arts Walk of the 2009 season Oct. 24 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Arts Walks are self-guided walking tours that feature opening receptions and exhibitions at downtown art galleries, theater performances, live music, shopping and dining at some of the area’s finest restaurants.

While some of the evening performances may require the purchase of tickets, most activities are free, and many participating venues offer special discounts to Arts Walk participants.

Brochures for the event are available from the Allegany Arts Council, 9 N. Centre Street, and from each of the more than 30 participating Arts Walk destinations. A copy of the brochure can be downloaded at www.alleganyartscouncil.org.
