Q: What is

“First Thursday”?

First Thursday is National Art Night where on the first Thursday of each month in major cities the art districts will close their roads and invite Artists, to come to set up Vendor Tents and Street Musicians to come serenade people in the streets. Galleries will stay open later and people will gather in these streets to wander, eat, listen to music and look at Art.

In the Pearl District of Portland they have been celebrating this since 1986.

So wear you best walking shoes and join us!
