This Friday, March 18, six local businesses are coming together from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to take part in the Mid City Merchants’ 6th annual Mid City Art Thaw, an event to celebrate local wares, food and—of course—great art. All six businesses lie in the same area of Mid City on Jefferson Highway between Government Street and Goodwood Avenue.

Melt away the winter blues at Brew Ha-Ha, Elizabethan Gallery, Monjunis Italian Café and Grocery, Reginelli’s Pizzeria, Sabai Jewelery Gallery and Shavarsh K Jewelery Design Shop.

Stop into each business to see the work of local artists, hear music playing and sample good food. For details, visit the Mid City Merchants website.
