About the event

Third Thursday is Joplin’s premiere community cultural event. Every Third Thursday, March through October, thousands of people gather on Main Street in Downtown Joplin from 5:30pm to 8:30pm to enjoy local artisans, music, entertainment, and food. The Downtown Joplin Alliance is in need of volunteers to help with set-up, manning traffic cones and clean-up at the end of the night.
