3rd Thursdays Gets AAA Regional Recognition03:55PM / Wednesday, July 01, 2009
PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Mayor James M. Ruberto announced today that the City of Pittsfield’s Third Thursdays was recognized by Horizons AAA Southern New England for being in Top 10 Free Things to do in Massachusetts.
“This is another example of how our investment in Cultural Development has delivered accolades to the City of Pittsfield,” said Mayor Ruberto. “Whether it is US News & World reports, AAA, or countless others who have highlighted the special things happening here, it continues to change the perception that is transforming Pittsfield into the Best Small City in the Northeast.”
The July 2009 issue AAA Horizons spot lights ways ‘you don’t have to empty your wallet to enjoy summer in Massachusetts.’ And July is Pittsfield’s annual Summer Beach Party themed Third Thursday. Palace Park will be transformed into a beach so kids young and old can bring their shovels and pails to play in the sand. The Silver Swimmers will be back entertaining the masses up and down North Street. The festivities start at 5, go until 8, but shops and restaurants are open late.
“We’re thrilled that 3rd.Thursdays reputation, as a free family-friendly celebration that showcases Pittsfield’s lively downtown and cultural attractions, is spreading far and wide,” said Cultural Development Director, Megan Whilden.
