Armonk Chamber’s Third Thursdays Living Large in 2019

Armonk Chamber’s Third Thursdays Living Large in 2019: The Armonk Chamber of Commerce recently announced plans to expand their popular 3rd Thursday Summer Events in Armonk Square into three town-wide shop all day, rock all night community celebrations. Each day will begin with in-store all day sales, specials and promotions at local businesses and end with music and activities in the evenings. New this year are live evening concerts in Wampus Brook Park to cap off the July and August dates. Concert attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, food and drinks for a musical picnic under the stars. The Fortina pizza truck will also be there to serve hot personal pies.

Armonk Sales Days

Each 3rd Thursday Celebration will kick off with Armonk Sales Days, where businesses will offer In-Store sales, specials, raffles, trunk shows, activities and giveaways. Thirty-four Armonk businesses will participate in Armonk Sales Days including April Marin, Armonk Vision Care, Beascakes Bakery, Framings, Glow Custom Airbrush Tanning, Hickory and Tweed, La Gravinese Jewelers, Rocks by Jolie B.
