The free event is a self-guided tour of the shops, art galleries and other businesses in the downtown Brevard area. \u201cSaturday Stroll is a downtown business promotion\u2014it\u2019s not just for galleries,\u201d says Nicole Bentley, executive director of Heart of Brevard. \u201cSaturday Stroll is a great opportunity to experience the creative arts scene in downtown Brevard, explore shops and grab a delicious bite to eat. Venues may offer live music, food, activities, hands-on art and demonstrations.\u201d<\/p>\n
