Thornton Park 3rd Thursday

On the 3rd Thursday of every month, visitors gather in Thornton Park for the "3rd Thursday Art Walk." They come to celebrate art and partake in an evening of sights, sounds, food, shopping, and fun. On a typical 3rd Thursday Art Walk, non-traditional art venues (think restaurants, boutiques, and salons) spotlight the best of established and emerging Orlando-based artists. Expect the unexpected as each month is uniquely an experience in art and culture.

There's an Instagram Photo Hunt (for prizes!) too. Show up at Mother Falcon at 7:15pm to get your maps and clues. Points will be given for every picture taken and tagged. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes at the end of the photohunt! All rules will be explained before the hunt. All you need to bring is your iPhone and a pen.

The stroll is on E. Washington Street to N. Summerlin Avenue and to Central Boulevard. Basically from Graffiti Junction to XL Gallery and ALL the places in between. Though many shops are open earlier, the 3rd Thursday Art Walk officially starts at 7:00 p.m. and runs to 9:00 p.m. with restaurants and bars staying open considerably later. Parking: Thornton Park Parking Garage with entrances on North Eola Drive and East Washington Street. Street parking is available if you can find it.
