What To Eat and Drink at Thursdays Downtown in Rochester

Tens of thousands of people will flock to downtown Rochester each week for the rest of the summer for the popular Thursdays Downtown event. I am so excited to get together with friends to soak up the sun and enjoy a cold beer while checking out local vendors, listening to live music, and munching on delicious food. Below you'll see the full list of vendors that will be serving drinks and food.

One new attraction this year will be the "Bitter Little Duck Lounge".  Bitter & Pour, Little Thistle, and Bleu Duck Kitchen teamed up to host this special area at Thursdays Downtown. Guests will be able to chill in the lounge by entering through the Bleu Duck tent which will be located right near the 1st Ave. stage.
