2026 December Third Thursday

Close out the year with ‘Shop Downtown’, dedicated to supporting local businesses during the holidays at the December Third Thursday, on December 18, 2026, from 6:00-8:00 pm.  Find meaningful gifts, enjoy seasonal experiences, and keep your holiday shopping close to home.  It's a celebration of community, creativity, and the impact of choosing local.

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.
