In 2026 Third Thursday will expand programming geographically and creatively, growing Third Thursday from Avenue A through DCI Park, while continuing to prioritize experiences that align with the arts-and-culture mission. This expansion will allow us to support more artists, offer more variety, and create a downtown experience that feels dynamic from end to end.
