The Downtown Association of Fresno is hosting its 17th and final “Fulton Plaza Thursdays” street party in the Downtown Historic Fulton Mall.

Starting at 5 p.m., the streets of downtown Fresno will come alive with arts and crafts, music, food, beer, flowers, gifts, children’s activities and dancing. In a collective effort to revive the nightlife of downtown, thousands of people will fill the streets to celebrate the Historic Fulton Mall.

Bands such as MoFo Party Band, 40 Watt Hype, Los Hooligans and Patrick Contreras will lead the entertainment as any and everybody is invited to parade the streets and have fun said Fulton Plaza Thursdays Coordinator Ruth Saludes.

“It’s kind of like a street party to revive the downtown area,” Saludes said. “We get a lot of fun and creative people at these events including groups of Fresno State students. We’re encouraging everyone to come.”
