“3rd Thursday” In Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay area is known for a lot of things: Wonderful neighborhoods, beautiful beaches, and an amazing sunset are just some of the more well known ones. A lesser known, impressive thing is the community event known as “3rd Thursday.” 3rd Thursday is an evening event that happens on the 3rd Thursday of every month that celebrates everything that makes up the culture of Tampa Bay.

The event is absolutely free to participate in and has live music and cocktails provided by a local business, the Pour House Tampa. Assorted food trucks will be there to provide suitable food for the event, each truck selling their products for reasonable prices. In case the cocktails weren’t enough, there are several bars on location to keep the party going as long as it needs to. A significant amount of the 1000+ attendees will be local fans of the attending bands, a majority of that group from residential areas nearby. These people are friendly citizens who help keep the party rolling safely. This event was formed in 2012 by the local grass roots company Tampa Bay Markets, Inc.. Their goal is to run a massive open-air market of fresh produce in order to keep the spirit of Tampa exciting. All bands and businesses attending are local, and help promote local business and community events.

3rd Thursday is hosted at 1120 East Kennedy Boulevard, from 6pm sharp to about 10pm. All drinks are craft brews, and parking is free in the nearby lots. If those fill up however, there is another lot nearby that charges $1.00 every half-hour, so make sure not to be late! The celebration always proceeds regardless of weather, unless a state of emergency renders the event to be ill-advised. The event is pet-friendly, but please be aware that leash laws apply, and that dangerous pets may be removed from the event at the host’s discretion.
