Last Thursday:

The Nexus Where Art & People Meet!

Rose City Vaudeville

Rose City Vaudeville

Welcome to your personal guide to Last Thursday, the monthly Alberta Arts District festival, now in its 14th season. Last Thursday is a community grown event, free to all participants – vendors, artists, musicians, performers & visitors. There are no fees or registration requirements; however, please carefully peruse the info that’s pertinent to your specialty, so you’re perfectly prepared to wrangle this wondrous street extravaganza.

WHAT IS FoLT?

Friends of Last Thursday (FoLT) works with a broad spectrum of residents, businesses, vendors, performers & visitors to Last Thursday, as well as city, county and state agencies. FoLT is comprised of passionate people working to ensure community ownership and fiscal oversight of Last Thursday.

Our FoLT info booth–located between 19th & 20th–is available to serve you during the event. Drop by and say hey!

SUPPORT LAST THURSDAY

We need you to help us build the street signs and barricades!

No tools or experience necessary. Meet at the Vagabond Theatre Lot on 19th and Alberta, Last Thursday, 9:00-3:00.

BECOME AN AMBASSADOR

One of the most joyful & immediate ways you can become a Friend is to join our Ambassador team. Ambassadors are the face—feel free to paint yours!—of FoLT. Roaming the street during LT in colorful hats & vests, Ambassadors provide education and outreach to ensure the event runs smoothly. We have before, during & after shifts, so if you participate in LT—we hope you do!—there’s still a slot for you. Of special need is the post-LT community support window from 10pm-1 am. Sign up for our next Ambassador training.

Thursday, at St. Andrews Community Centre, 806 NE Alberta

RESOURCE SHOUT OUT

People power is vital to the continued health & longevity of this special organic model. We’d love to see your support in a variety of ways, including: packing out your trash to keep LT a Leave No Trace event; showing neighborhood respect by taking care where you park and potty (we’re packing in 18 portable toilets just for you!) and giving us any change you can spare, so we can make sure LT doesn’t change.
