Downtown Live

Downtown Live is a monthly collaboration between Main Street Texarkana and downtown local businesses. This month has a Valentine’s Day theme with carriage rides on Broad Street with Clay Smith along Broad Street for just $5 per person for up to 3 people per ride. Rides begin at the intersection of Wood and East Broad.

“We are so excited to have Clay Smith offer carriage rides along historic Broad Street,” says Main Street director, Ina McDowell. “Downtown Live is always exciting, but this is a special treat for Valentine's Day.”

Downtown Live will also feature artists, musicians, and interactive activities from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Businesses along Broad, Main, Texas, and Front Streets will stay open late for the event offering special deals for visitors.

The Artists

Downtown Live February artists include Kristina Eisenhower at Southern Grace, which will also offer a selfie station by Blown Away. Musicians Jay Kirgis and Railhead Ned will be on hand in addition to live music at Alley Cats Coffee Bar and the Kress Gap on West Broad.

Other participating downtown businesses include Berridge Bikes, Moonstone and Moss, Hart’s on Broad, The Dressmaker, and Crystal Moon. One of the newest businesses, Bookhound Haven on West Broad Street, will be open and is offering pre-ordering for book bouquets just in time for Valentine’s Day.
