1st Thursdays: Apr 4, 2024

Get Involved

Manheim Businesses

1st Thursdays provide an opportunity for your business to reach potential customers from both inside and outside the Manheim area, while contributing to the health of the community. In order to be listed as a 1st Thursday participating business, you must:

• Commit to being open from 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm on 1st Thursdays.
• Be open for walk-ins OR conduct some sort of business or promotion outdoors on your business property.
• Be a member of the Manheim Area Chamber of Commerce.

If you’re not a Chamber member, we would still love to have you participate in the event—however you will not be listed as a participating business. Consider becoming a member today!

If your business is not located downtown, but you would like downtown presence during 1st Thursdays, you can complete an application to be approved for setting up a vending table (preference is given to Chamber members). You can also team up with another downtown business and use their space.

Outdoor Vendors

We are excited to have outside vendors participate in 1st Thursdays. The application supplied below outlines all regulations and requirements for being approved as a vendor.

Musicians

We are looking for musicians to perform outdoors in downtown Manheim during 1st Thursdays. If you are interested in performing, contact info@manheimchamber.com. Please include a description of your performance style, an overview of your setup, and how much you would charge for two hours of performance.
