KENNETT BOROUGH: Third Thursday extends its season

At a party on April 17, Claire Murray told me some news that will make a lot of people happy: by popular demand, the Third Thursday event in downtown Kennett Square will run from May through September this year! The dates are May 19, June 16, July 21, Aug. 18 and Sept. 15.
On Third Thursday evenings from 6 to 10 p.m., State Street is closed to traffic from Broad to Center Streets, and the restaurants serve dinner at tables set up in the middle of the street. The event is hugely popular, and after two of the evenings were rained out last year, many folks asked for the season to be extended.
There's also live music: the lineup is Josh Komorowski and the Sons of Thunder on May 19, Hake and Jarema Band on June 16, the Sin City Band on July 21, the Rolling Thunder Blues Review on Aug. 18 and Wheelhouse on Sept. 15.
