3rd Thursday event this week!

3rd Thursday returns this week! This Thursday, August 19th from 5 to 8 pm, come hang out in downtown Manchester for entertainment, food, shopping, kid activities, and more!

From 5  to 8 pm, spend time downtown enjoying live classic rock by Lead Foot on the Mill porch and belly dancing performances. Shop the vendors market on Adrian Street. Kids will enjoy the children’s activities in the alley including decorating bottles and making a firefly catcher, and a petting zoo. Kids of all ages can enjoy the free hayride. Stores and restaurants will be offering specials and some stores will have extended hours.

Head to the corner and up East Main Street and visit the Manchester Historical Society Museum located at 302 East Main Street and the blacksmith shop at 324 East Main Street, which will both be open to visitors free of charge. The blacksmith shop will have demonstrations and the Historical Society will be holding a fundraising garage sale on the lawn of the Historical Museum and in the garage.

This is the third 3rd Thursday event of the summer, with only one remaining on September 15th!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
