The Downtown Modesto Partnership will celebrate the season finale of their downtown street festival, DoMo First Fridays, with DoMo Walls on October 7, 2022 bringing 4 new murals to Downtown Modesto.

The community is invited to enjoy Downtown Modesto and its cultural and entertainment offerings as five artists work to install brand new public art throughout the days leading up to the final DoMo First Friday of the season October 7th. In a continuance of its mission to cultivate a beautiful, comfortable, and relevant sense of place, 4 new murals will be added to the roster of 17 already-existing DoMo Walls murals, making a total of 21 impressive murals in Downtown Modesto.

“DoMo Walls is a great example of the growing list of activities that reinforce our identity as a comfortable cosmopolitan city – one that’s welcoming and accessible while still providing a tremendous amount of culture and amenity,” said President and CEO of Downtown Modesto Partnership Josh Bridegroom.
