Join us in Downtown Owatonna for the ultimate summer evenings!
Grab your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors and join us on the first Thursdays of June, July (the 2nd Thursday for 2024), August and September for entertainment, family activities, food, shopping, and fun!
Downtown Thursdays take place in beautiful downtown Owatonna. In Central Park, on N. Cedar Ave, and along the side streets, you will find the energy and positive vibes of a vibrant and growing community. Along with our local stores, restaurants and bars, there will be vendors and food trucks available, so the choices are many. In 2023, we offered face painting, balloon artists, caricature artist, train rides and a bouncy house for FREE, and we look to bring even more activities for 2024!
Check back for updates on vendor registration and sponsorships and don’t forget to join our Facebook page – Downtown Owatonna – for the latest news regarding Main Street!
