3rd Thursday Arts & Eats
Join us for the 3rd Thursday Arts & Eats, a new monthly community gathering celebrating creativity, local artists, and great food. Held on the third Thursday of each month from May through October, this evening event brings together art, food, and community in a welcoming outdoor setting.
Each event will feature local artists showcasing and selling original artwork, handmade goods, and creative products, alongside a rotating lineup of food trucks offering a variety of cuisines. Guests are invited to stroll through the art market, enjoy delicious food, and discover unique creations from talented artists.
