Third Thursday
July 17 @ 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
🎉 Get ready for the most fun night of the summer! 🎉 Downtown Manhattan’s Third Thursdays — where art, music, and community take over the streets from May through September! Each month, downtown transforms into a vibrant street fair and maker’s market bursting with creativity.
✨ Join us for an evening full of fun, hands-on activities, and good vibes!
Bring your crew — friends, family, kids, and curious minds — and dive into a night of local art, live music, delicious treats, and unforgettable moments.
🎨 What’s in store?
Amazing local artists & makers showing off their talents!
There’s something fresh and exciting every month — from the timeless charm of the Cake Walk to toe-tapping sidewalk musicians and pop-up performances you won’t see coming! You won’t want to miss a single one.
July’s lineup is extra special with TWO live children’s theatre performances by The Actor’s Theatre group and a crowd-pleasing set of bluegrass tunes from the incredible group The Haymakers!
We’ll also welcome special guests—the MHS Little Apple Cyborgs and K-State’s Energy Program—featuring fun, interactive robots, gadgets, and educational displays.
Be sure to drop by our Paint by # window featured at Therapie – 106 SW 4th street – featuring Tom Wesselmann’s – “Still life with blowing red curtain”. 
🕔 It’s all happening from 5–8pm — outside, downtown, and full of energy.
Mark your calendar and don’t miss the magic of Third Thursdays!
