“Main Street has the privilege of working with our spectacular local galleries and artists to bring a wide variety of live entertainment to downtown Texarkana,” Past President of Main Street Texarkana James Bright said. “We love Downtown Live, and what it means to the community. It’s exciting to see folks from all over the ArkLaTex come to our Entertainment District for a unique blend of art and showmanship.”
Downtown LIVE takes place every 2nd Friday of the month and features area artists who create amazing works while the public watches. Area musicians play street-side and there are a dozen restaurants just steps away. This Friday, there will be live canvas painting at Crystal Moon Metaphysical Boutique and live music at the 1894 Gallery. Musicians Piso Mojado and Nicci McCarty are two of the many musicians who will be performing. In addition to live art and music, Broad Street retail shops will stay open late for the public.
