Summer’s last “Third Thursday on Main” event planned for downtown Madison tomorrow

MADISON – Main Street Madison is wrapping up their 2026 Third Thursdays on Main series tomorrow in downtown Madison. The fun starts at 5 p.m. and includes a wide array of activities for the whole family, great food, live music, shopping and more.

Third Thursdays started as an initiative of downtown business owners to bring family fun, food trucks, and extended business hours to downtown in the summer months.

This year, the events have been organized by Main Street Madison, bringing increased fun and offerings. There will be live music by Amos Simmons, Tom’s Toy Chest games that includes a huge chess set and Connect Four, a kid’s zone, a vendor alley, food trucks and an artist alley.

“We’re very excited to have a lot of local vendors that can kind of compliment what we already have downtown,” said MSM Executive Director Jen DeLessio.

Another new feature this year has been Sips of Summer. Inspired by the Wassail Fest wassail sampling during the holidays, Sips of Summer will have vendors offering samples of summery drinks.

The last Third Thursdays for the year will be held Thursday, Aug. 20 at 5 p.m.
