Historic downtown Glendale has been voted "Arizona's Antique Capital" by readers of both Valley and statewide newspapers. There are more than 70 antique and specialty shops adjacent to a beautiful city park and library. The Catlin Court Historic District houses residential bungalows that have been converted into unique and quaint shops.

"That Thursday Thing"

As an added bonus, every third Thursday night between October and May turns into a festival-like atmosphere called "That Thursday Thing". From 6 to 9 PM there are street performers, horse-drawn carriage rides and Ollie the Trolley providing free trolley rides throughout the Old Towne and Catlin Court areas. The quaint shops stay open so you can browse from store to store in this small walking area.

Dates for That Thursday Thing are:
