FRESNO, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — The push to bring Art-hop back to Fulton Street will become a reality Thursday night.
A year ago, the city of Fresno banned outdoor vendors, citing both heat and safety concerns.
A major decrease in traffic in Downtown Fresno followed the decision.
In the months since, the Downtown Fresno Partnership held a survey and according to their site, a majority of participants supported Art-hop’s return to the first Thursday of each month with outdoor and indoor options.
Now, with the help of the Fresno Arts Council, the city says Art-hop will be supported with public restrooms, police presence, code enforcement, and more structure.
Listen to the report by KMJ’s Liz Kern.
