Let the essence of spring wash over you this month at Glendale’s That Thursday Thing! Flowers are the theme as downtown merchants stay open late for event visitors March 16 from 6 to 9 p.m.

What’s in Store

Downtown visitors will enjoy late-night shopping and dining and welcome the new season with a build-your-own flower bouquet. Start your journey at the Glendale Visitor Center, where you will pick up a petal power map listing the shop locations where you can pick up free flowers and gift items.

Journey throughout Historic Downtown Glendale to complete your bouquet and gather gifts. Also enjoy free horse-drawn carriage rides through Historic Catlin Court.

The Story Behind ‘That Thursday’

Happening on the third Thursday of every month through May, these unique and exciting Thursday soirees will fill the newly renovated Murphy Park and surrounding area with everything from live entertainment and delicious eats to late-night shopping treats thanks to extended hours at the area’s antique stores, specialty shops and boutiques.
