Previously known as the Higham Street Market, the event is now called the Thursday Thing. Each week features a different food truck and live music act, along with local vendors lining the downtown sidewalks.
St. Johns Downtown Development Authority Executive Director Heather Hanover spoke about the event during setup Thursday.
"It's a place for people to gather, a place to come down and see what's happening downtown. And so, you just know it's a nice thing to come and see and not be afraid to come down, just have fun." Hanover said.
The Thursday Thing runs every Thursday evening from 5 to 7 p.m. through August 27.
