In conjunction with the regular First Friday Gallery Hop, two shuttles will depart from Chez Pierre restaurant (1215 Thomasville Road) at 6:00 p.m. for a three hour tour of many of the participating galleries and museums. Riders have the opportunity to spend twenty to thirty minutes at each stop to sample each site’s unique art and gifts, as well as enjoy refreshments at certain locations. Between stops, on-board guides entertain with interesting facts about Tallahassee and the local arts scene. Shuttle tickets are $5 per person and will go on sale at 5:00 p.m. the day of the event outside Chez Pierre. Shuttle riders are encouraged to park in the TMH parking lot across Sixth Avenue from Chez Pierre. Seating is limited and an early arrival is encouraged to ensure ticket availability.
