Mark your calendars—on June 28 (10 AM–5 PM) and June 29 (11 AM–4 PM), the Brazos County Expo will light up with the 6th annual Main Street Market, hosted by Texas Market Guide. This isn’t your garden-variety fair; this is a full-on celebration of Texas craftsmanship, ingenuity, and flavor!
What to expect:
- Rows of local vendors selling everything from handcrafted jewelry, home décor, attire, gourmet eats, holiday gifts, photography, woodworking, artisanal soaps, accessories, personalized goods, and more .
- Admission: $6, or just $5 with a non-perishable food item to support The Bridge Ministries Bryan (kids 12 & under get in free!)
- Fun extras: live demonstrations, one-of-a-kind finds, and a chance to shop and support small Texan businesses.
Why It’s a Perfect Pit Stop
Rolling in? Galloping Snail is the cozy home base just minutes away. Swing by the clubhouse to prep a few snack packs in the kitchen before heading out to mingle with Texas makers, sample some small-batch bites, and soak up the Lone Star spirit.
Insider Tips for a Top Market Day
- Beat the heat – Mornings are best for exploring before the temperature rises. Head over to the Expo center early, then come back, cool down in the clubhouse and take a late-afternoon nap, then you’re ready for the nightlife!
- Pack smart – Bring a tote bag for your finds and reusable water bottles. Several booths will offer a variety of refreshments.
- Keep it breezy – the event’s indoors, but it’s still Texas in June! Comfy shoes, a little sunblock for the stroll from the lot, and a reusable tote for all your finds will go a long way.
- Charity spirit – Consider bringing a canned good to donate. It saves a dollar and blesses a family in our neighborhood, quite literally.
- Plan ahead – Book your Galloping Snail stay now so your rig’s right there when the market wraps.
Texas-Made All the Way
Everything you’ll find is made by Texas folks—no imports, just homegrown talent. From handcrafted wood goods and funky art pieces to gourmet snacks and stylish wearables, this market is a one-stop showcase of Lone Star creativity.
