Downtown Grand Rapids is the place to be on the third Thursday of every month because it's a time when art, retail, and restaurants come together to celebrate the community.
3rd Thursday, an event originally created by Avenue for the Arts, is celebrating its one-year anniversary of bringing together multiple businesses throughout the Grand Rapids area- including Heartside, the Hotel District, Studio Park, and North Monroe.
Each month, over 25 venues host special 3rd Thursday-only art exhibitions, special events, and sales from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
