Third Thursday- Route 66 Fest

Third Thursday is Joplin’s premiere community cultural event. Every third Thursday, March through October, thousands of people gather on Main Street in Downtown Joplin from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. to enjoy local artisans, music, entertainment, and food.

This May, the event will celebrate all things Route 66, including the National Council of Corvettes Convention that will be taking over several blocks of downtown!
