The third season of the Bucerías Art Walk is scheduled to begin on November 6 with the inauguration of the Plaza de la Caminata de Arte (Art Walk Plaza) at Lázaro Cardenas 62, which will include the participation of 10 guest exhibitors from Mexico, the United States and Canada. The new restaurants along Lázaro Cardenas Street have joined in the event and will lend their spaces for this art exhibit. The horse-drawn coach, known as Art Trot, will offer free transportation to each of the participating establishments. The trek will begin on Benito Juárez, four blocks south of the main plaza, and will continue northward, over the bridge toward the artists alongside the plaza. Seventeen establishments are expected to participate, offering works by local as well as guest artists.
