After a short hiatus, Summit First Thursday is returning on May 7, 2026—and this year it’s expanding to all-day events across Summit.

On the first Thursday of each month, local galleries, shops, restaurants, and cultural spaces host special experiences that make it easy (and fun) to explore the creative side of Summit. You might stop in to meet a local artist, see a new exhibition, enjoy a free activity, or sample a complimentary bite or drink while discovering a business you’ve never visited before.

What you might find:

  • Meet-the-artist moments and gallery exhibitions

  • Free creative activities and demonstrations

  • Complimentary snacks or drinks from participating businesses

  • Special events and surprises throughout town

Whether you drop in during lunch, stop by in the afternoon, or make an evening of it, Summit First Thursday is an open invitation to explore what’s happening in Summit.

📅 Mark you calendar for the first event of the season: May 7, 2026
