Enjoy 'Cultural Night Market' This Saturday in Downtown Texarkana

This Saturday evening July 16 in downtown Texarkana the Texarkana Farmers’ Market will be hosting a special night market with their final Cultural Night Market of the Summer.

The Texarkana Farmers' Market holds these fun and informative cultural night markets every third Saturday of the month during market season. This is a great chance for people to come out and not only shop for locally grown produce but also to enjoy a cultural food demonstration plus other great activities.
