About
Railroad Square started as a lumber company site in the 1940s and has grown into Tallahassee’s arts district, with dozens of artist studios and galleries alongside vintage clothing, locally made goods, a pinball arcade and a climbing gym. The painted buildings and murals make it a favorite spot for photos.
Each business keeps its own hours, and most are open in the afternoons Thursday through Saturday, so aim for then on a regular visit. The big night is First Friday, when studios open their doors and food trucks and live music fill the lanes from 6 to 9 PM. Roads close to cars that evening, so park along FAMU Way. Both universities are within walking distance.
