Join us Thursday from 5:30 to 9 p.m.! First Thursday is back this week! We are so excited to continue our 2015 season on Thursday, September 3, and hope you'll join us. If you've never been, on the first Thursday of each month from April to October, Fayetteville's Downtown Square is transformed in to a vibrant arts district, featuring the work of more than 40 visual artists, live music, street performers, food and drink, and children’s activities. It’s a safe, family-friendly, community event for people of all ages. It’s free to the public, and frankly, a lot of fun. First Thursday feels like a giant gallery opening, with all the energy and excitement of a street festival. Come see for yourself!
