Downtown Chandler’s Third Thursdays series brings an energetic blend of art, music, and community to the city’s historic core each month from October through May. The free, walkable event runs 6–9 p.m. and transforms the downtown district into an open‑air arts market featuring local creators, student artists, handmade goods, and interactive exhibits.

Visitors can browse an eclectic lineup of vendors—ranging from pottery and jewelry to candles, glasswork, apparel, and gourmet treats—while enjoying live performances from local musicians. Restaurants, boutiques, and bars throughout Downtown Chandler stay active during the event, offering guests plenty of options for dinner, cocktails, and shopping. Public murals and art installations across the district add to the creative atmosphere.
