Third Thursdays Are Back! Food, Fun, and the First Night of Summer Break on Main Street

Third Thursdays Are Back! Food, Fun, and the First Night of Summer Break on Main Street
I am a firm believer that dinner tastes better when it’s served out of a truck and eaten on a curb. Really, anything that I don't have to cook & clean up after for is a bonus in my book! Score for Mom! lol!

After a rained-out May that left us all staring longingly at soggy sidewalks instead of sizzling street food, Third Thursdays are making their much-needed comeback! Mark your calendar for Thursday, June 19, 2025—because Main Street is the place to be.

🌞 Bonus: It’s also the last day of school for Medford’s k-8 students. So if your kids survived another year of spelling tests and hallway traffic jams, and you've survived a year of packing lunches & early morning bus stops, what better way to celebrate than letting them run wild (within reason, like.....don't totally unleash these kids haha) while you enjoy a night off from cooking?

🚚 This Month’s Lineup Is 🔥

Here’s who’s rolling in:

• Mr. Softee – if you don’t end your evening with a cone, did you even go?
• Empanada Guy – crispy, golden pockets of joy
• The Madison – elevated comfort food from one of our faves
• La Liegeoise – Belgian waffles you didn’t know you needed (but absolutely do)
• Little Sicilian – arancini dreams come true
• Twisted Steaks – cheesesteaks, but make it wild
• Smokin Rev & Lady Q BBQ – smoky, saucy, and everything in between
• Red’s Rolling Restaurant – casual American with a flavor punch
• Dan’s Waffles – more waffles, more happiness
• Taqueria el Mexicano – tacos that make you rethink Tuesdays
• Crawdaddy's Cajun – bold Louisiana flavor, from po’ boys to gator bites—straight-up bayou magic
• Rosa’s Catering – Puerto Rican & American fusion done right—Spanish, Southern, seafood, vegan... big flavor, bigger heart
• Nit Wit Grill – saucy BBQ, smash burgers, brisket, and comfort food done loud and proud—nothing nitwit about these flavors or prices!

From sweet to savory, there’s truly something for everyone—kids, picky eaters, and adventurous palates alike.

🛍️ While You're Here...

Don’t forget to stop into Main Street’s small businesses, many of whom stay open late just for these events. Grab a gift, try something new, or just pop in and say hi. Your support means everything, especially after a rained-out May.

🍽️ Don’t Forget the Brick & Mortars!

While you're out enjoying the food trucks, make time to visit the amazing Main Street restaurants and cafés that keep our downtown delicious all year long:

🛍️ Grab a bite, sip something cold, and don’t forget to show these year-round businesses some love while you're here for Third Thursday!

☀️ Let’s All Cross Our Fingers for Dry Skies

We missed you last month—really. So here’s hoping Mother Nature chills out this time so we can soak up one of the best nights Medford has to offer: delicious food, music in the air, brews to sip, and awesome shops to explore!

Third Thursday. June 19. Main Street. Be there.
(And bring your appetite!)
