Greenville kicks off their free concert series this Friday at Market Square. Music at the Market takes place on Friday nights at 8 p.m. through July. Guests are invited to bring lawn chairs, grab a bite from local vendors, and enjoy featured performances under the big Texas sky. Check their calendar for specific dates and entertainers.
Greenville’s Market Square is located at 2203 Lee Street at Bois d’ Arc Street in their downtown district. The farmers’ market is open from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through November 1 with locally grown produce, artisanal goods, and homemade products. Go to their website for a list of vendors.
Greenville has a rich agricultural history, especially in cotton. The amazing Audie Murphy American Cotton Museum exhibits the days of a bygone era when cotton was a part of everyday life in Hunt County and so much more with surprises around every corner.
While in Greenville, enjoy entertainment and the arts at every turn. The downtown area has a dynamic public art program that includes galleries, sculptures, interactive installations, and many big, beautiful murals created by local and visiting artists. One of the murals is “High Cotton” by artist Pamela Edwards pictured above. The hard-edge abstraction celebrates the rich geologic history of Greenville.
