Downtown Tacoma Artwalk & Free Third Thursday

“As if Downtown Tacoma's museum scene wasn't exciting enough, our community's monthly Artwalk event makes these vibrant cultural institutions accessible to all Tacomans at no cost,” shares Anders.

As part of the Free Third Thursday offering, you can enjoy free (or discounted) admission to Tacoma museums. You can learn more about specific offerings and times here. Local galleries also open their spaces for people to peruse—it’s a great opportunity to check out what local artists have been up to and explore all that our vibrant downtown area has to offer!

The Tacoma Museum Pass

“The Tacoma Museum pass offers another cost-effective option to enjoy our downtown museum scene at a discounted rate,” says Anders. “At the end of the day, every Tacoma resident deserves meaningful access to places of learning, art, and history. We are all better off as a city for that!”

The Tacoma Museum Pass allows you to visit all six of Tacoma’s premier museums for just one price. The Washington State History Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, LeMay - America’s Car Museum, Museum of Glass, Foss Waterway Seaport Museum, and Children’s Museum of Tacoma are all included.
