Come to downtown Jamestown August 15 for an evening of art and entertainment. Downtown Businesses are staying open late and hosting artists while Winter Garden Plaza sets the stage for several musical acts between 5:30 and 9:00 PM.

Every third Thursday from April to September, downtown Jamestown comes alive with music, art, shopping and of course, great restaurants. Stop by Winter Garden Plaza for music sponsored by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation, then take a walk downtown to take in the arts scene, local shops and restaurants.
