There will be a rocking event on coming this Thursday called Night Bazaar by Folkways. Night Bazaar is an event highlighting the community with a full spectrum of unique experiences, food, music, art and performances. Night Bazaar is created by community building organization and creators of the Red River Market, Folkways, who transform the Broadway Garage each month into a whimsical evening of live entertainment and shopping. It looks like the evening bazaars of Southeast Asia which visitors can shop for trinkets and handmade goods from local artisans along with live musical performances by Travis Naegle, Fancy That, Pat Lenertz, Travis Atwood and the Ric Todd Band.
Enjoy street food from the food trucks and drinks from Front Street Taproom, Flannel Fizz, Scoop and Dough Co, The Dogfather, Indulgence Baking Co, Crunchy Dog, Deb’s Corner Foods and Catering, and Texas Q.
