A Night to Remember at Dominion Valley's Third Thursdays 🎶

The Third Thursdays at Dominion Valley event on May 15, 2025, was an evening filled with excitement, community spirit, and unforgettable memories. Whether you were soaking up live music 🎵, battling it out in lawn games 🏐, or exploring unique local vendors 🛍️, this event had something for everyone.

Here’s a look back at what made this evening special:

The Heart of the Event

This month’s Third Thursday brought together a vibrant mix of entertainment, delicious food, and engaging activities. With the sunny 77-degree weather ☀️ setting the perfect scene, the courtyard in front of the gazebo came alive with laughter 😂, music 🎸, and community connection.

Live music by the Bad Press Band: 🎤 The band set the tone for the evening with their lively setlist, creating an electric atmosphere that had everyone tapping their feet.
Interactive sidewalk games: 🕹️ Classics like cornhole, giant Jenga, Connect Four, and even golf ⛳ created smiles and friendly competition across the crowd, making this a family-favorite feature of the night.
Local business showcase: 🛒 A range of incredible local merchants showed off their talents! From handcrafted items by Ninu Handmade 🧶 to stunning pottery creations from First Wolf Pottery 🏺, it was a treat for anyone with a love for unique artistry.

Delicious Food and Exclusive Perks 🍴

Dominion Valley’s local restaurants played a big role in making Third Thursdays unforgettable.

Tony’s NY Pizza 🍕 and Olde Dominion Tavern 🍻 opened up their patios, serving up mouthwatering dishes and refreshing drinks that attendees enjoyed under the stars. 🌌
Velocity Wings 🐓 shared their menu at the registration table, ensuring guests got a glimpse of their delicious offerings.
Best of all, those who spent $50 or more at participating restaurants or retailers walked away with a $10 Giant Gift Card 🎁. It was a popular perk—we actually ran out of cards!
