Who's ready for some fun? Thursdays on First & 3rd returns this week

Our best community event — as voted by the public — kicks off this week.

Thursdays on First & 3rd runs from June 2 to August 25 in downtown Rochester. The festival, which attracts thousands to the area each Thursday, features live music on two stages, as well as more than 100 craft and food vendors.

Seven of this summer's events will be themed, from "Adventure Day" on June 9 to "The Great Outdoors," featuring animals from Oxbow Park, on July 28.
