3rd on Third is a new monthly event happening on the 3rd Thursday of each month (May through September) on 3rd Street in Downtown Jamestown.

3rd on Third highlights the incredible variety of arts, culture, and talent found throughout Jamestown and Chautauqua County. Visitors can stroll the street, enjoy live music, discover local makers, and experience everything that makes Jamestown unique.

Each month will feature a different cultural or artistic theme, showcasing the diversity of traditions, creativity, and talent that make our region special.

Vendor Information:
All participating vendors and businesses are required to complete a City of Jamestown Special Event Vendor Permit for each event in order to participate. In addition to the permit, vendors located outside the City of Jamestown must pay a $60 fee payable to the City of Jamestown. Vendors located within Jamestown are exempt from this fee.

Applications and payments may be dropped off at the CHQ Chamber Office, and we will submit them to the city on your behalf, or vendors may submit their permit and payment directly to the City of Jamestown.

PLEASE NOTE: Vendors cannot participate in the event unless this permit requirement has been completed.

Thanks for grant funding, the CHQ Chamber will not charge additional vendor fees for this event series.
