Downtown Lakeland's first Color Wave Mural Festival starts Friday, Nov. 6, and the festival site says 11 artists will paint 11 walls during the Nov. 6-14 run. The official downtown calendar also lists the event as an all-day entry across Downtown Lakeland.
Why it matters
For residents, the practical takeaway is that this is not a one-night event. Because it runs for more than a week and is spread across downtown, people can plan a short stop or a longer visit around work, errands or weekend plans.
What else is happening Friday
If you want to pair the mural festival with another downtown outing, the same calendar lists First Friday: Goin’ Country on Friday evening, Nov. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Kentucky Ave. and Munn Park.
