BROOKVILLE — The final “Third Thursday” event of the season will be held this Thursday from 4-7 p.m. in Gruenig Park, located in downtown Brookville at 120 Market St.
The event, which began on April 19, has grown to the point where one block of Market Street is closed to traffic while the event is taking place.
The event features vendors from Brookville and the surrounding area and food trucks offering visitors a variety of food choices.
The monthly event is the creation of a group of downtown merchants called The Market Street Connection.
The formation of the downtown group was spearheaded specifically by the owners of the Brookville Flower Shop, Palette of Threads, and What’s the Scoop? Ice Cream Shop.
“The goal of this new program is to bring residents, both in Brookville and within the Miami Valley region, to downtown Brookville to experience traditional Americana, hometown charm and all the great retail and commercial operators which call downtown Brookville home,” Brookville City Manager Jack Kuntz said when the proposed event was introduced to council.
Kuntz, in a recent press release, said the community event “has developed into a must attend event every month where local vendors and food trucks shut down an entire downtown block and the community experiences neighborly camaraderie along with all the great things Brookville has to offer.”
