Please thank our generousSponsors without their help the fest would not be possible.
3rd Thursday Street Fest returns for its 9th season!
Come for dinner,
visit friends,
dance to the music,
and enjoy the beautiful architecture.
Every third Thursday from May to September, thousands of people from far and wide stroll along Main Street Willimantic amid a background of musical, theatrical, visual and olfactory delights.
There are clowns and bands and giant stilters to entertain you as you meander through the fest. Local and regional crafters and vendors showcase the wealth of goods produced in Connecticut.
Brought to you by Willimantic Renaissance, Inc., a grassroots 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed to revitalize downtown Willimantic by celebrating diversity, building community and attracting consumers. 3rd Thursday Street Fest is truly a community event, completely organized by volunteers and with no paid staff.
