Experience the soulful tunes of Marquette's local musicians this summer with Music on Third, a series of sidewalk concerts held every third Thursday from July through September. From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Third Street in Marquette's Downtown District comes alive with the eclectic sounds of talented artists, providing the perfect backdrop for an evening of exploration and entertainment. While enjoying the music, take the opportunity to discover the Shops and Restaurants that line Third Street, and join the community in celebrating the vibrant culture of Marquette.

Road closures will continue this year to ensure a safe and more enjoyable event for attendees. The Social District will also be expanded into the closure area to allow attendees to walk the event with their favorite alcohol beverages purchased from participating downtown businesses.
