WHAT IS IT?

On the first Thursday of every month, the farmer’s market, restaurants and local businesses in Stittsville are open later than usual, with events showcasing the wealth of talent and activities that Stittsville has on offer – hence the name First Thursdays. The event is completely free, with no structured tour, and no schedule to follow, you are free to absorb it all at your own leisure.

WHY DO IT?

First Thursdays is more than just an evening about local businesses. Yes, the businesses activities are the big draw, but as the sun sets, the farmer’s market, coffee shops and restaurants join in, while the locals spill out onto the streets, creating an electric vibe, drawing on the heady mix of local arts and culture and food and drink.

Take your time… start off at Quitters for a drink, before browsing the Farmer’s Market in the Village Square Park, check out one of the activities or workshops being held in the park, stroll to ReRead to browse their books, maybe catch a drink at the Legion across the street, grab a slice of pizza at JoJo’s or an Ice Cream – and finally settle in at Jack Ketch for a sumptuous meal.

Arts, culture, food and drink – a perfect night out. See where your stroll takes you!
