It’s almost time again to crank up Third Thursday in Downtown Benton. The Third Thursday theme will be “Spring into Third Thursday” and activities will be sponsored by Everett Chevrolet.
The Downtown Benton Partnership blocks off streets in the historic area of downtown Benton, Arkansas for a big community party. All the downtown shops and boutiques stay open late and there is live music, food trucks, beer garden, giveaways, and things for the whole family to do like rock walls, inflatables, escape room, laser tag, sidewalk chalk art, face painting and more.
The partnership is now accepting applications for vendor booths for first event of the year on April 16th. Booths are $35 and vendors bring tent, table, chairs, etc. Email [email protected] to sign up. Merchandise cannot be sold from booths in 2020. Giveaways, drawings for prizes, and handouts are welcome.
