Each month, locally owned businesses in the Main Street Texarkana District stay open after hours to offer visitors deals and discounts while local artists and musicians share their talents with the community.

“Historically, this was the original business district,” says Main Street Director, Ina McDowell. “This area, Broad Street in particular, contains some of the oldest buildings in the community.”

“Downtown Live is a way to bring live art and music to downtown,” adds Ms. McDowell.

Broad Street is now part of both the Arts and Historic District and the Entertainment District in addition to the Main Street District.

Area artists set up in one of our downtown galleries or on the sidewalks to create lovely works while the public watches. We have great live music as well.”
