Third Thursday is Joplin's trademark cultural event. Come with your friends and family to stroll through downtown, eat great food, listen to music, look at art and shop!

Art Walk:

Art galleries pop-up all throughout downtown and are filled with art collections from local artists. Some art work is for sale and some is for exhibition. There is also a shuttle to to Art Galleries beyond 1st and 7th including Spiva Center for the Arts, Local Color and Phoenix Fired Art. Pick up the shuttle at the Gryphon Building.

Performance stages:

There are performances spread between 1st and 7th. Walk around to hear the different musicians, take hip-hop lessons, and watch vignettes.

EAT!:

One of the best things about Third Thursday is dinner at one of our downtown restaurants. Dine in or take out and eat while you stroll.
