SALISBURY, Md. The May 3rd Friday event, with the theme of "Paw Prints," is sure to be fun for humans and their pets. We have scheduled this month's 3rd Friday for Friday, May 17, from 5-8 p.m.

Every month on the third Friday, downtown Salisbury hosts a free arts event known as Third Friday. This year, 3rd Friday has a new layout, including the Downtown Plaza (West Main Street from West Market Street to North Division Street), Division Street next to the parking garage, and Unity Square. There will also be a new business district on North Division Street between Route 50 and Main Street, featuring downtown businesses.

Unity Square will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony starting at 5:30 p.m. Bill Wolff's newly-installed sculpture in the park, "All Together," will be the subject of a brief ceremony.

The third Friday will once again feature two live music performances: Uprising at Unity Square and Wayne Blake on the Plaza. To go along with the "Paw Prints" theme, K9 Legend will do a live training demo on the Plaza at 6 p.m., and K9 Heeling will do a live training demo at Unity Square at 7 p.m.

There will also be a pet costume contest, in which all costumed pets will win a special treat.

On Friday, from 5-7 p.m., the Salisbury Art Space will host its opening reception for the Salisbury Art Space and United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore Addiction Awareness Visual Arts Competition.

People can enjoy music from On the Edge at the Brew River Dock Bar from 6-10 p.m. on Friday, and MoJo's will feature AJ the DJ from 9 p.m.-close. St. Peter's Episcopal Church will have hot dogs and hamburgers available for purchase, as well as the Blessing of the Animals from 6:00-6:30 p.m.
