Hillyard invites you to an evening of art, music, and community.
Explore the N Market Street Corridor as local businesses open their doors to artists, pop-up galleries, live demos, and creative activities. Meet your neighbors, discover something new, and see a different side of Hillyard.
How Third
Thursday Works
Come down to N Market Street anytime between 4–8 PM and explore businesses hosting local artists, pop-ups, demos, and more.
See a pinwheel? You’re in the right place. Participating businesses will have one out front, so just follow the pinwheels and see what you discover.
And don’t miss the Hillyard Heritage Museum Train Park, where you’ll find live music, local vendors, and even more happening throughout the evening.
Want to be part of Third Thursday?
