‘Market on Main’ is a new community event that offers vendors and Robstown residents alike a chance to do something new every Friday night.
Patricia and Gilbert Zapata are the owners of Main Street Sweets and Drinks Downtown, and are also the community organizers that started Market on Main.
The event takes place on 517 E Main St. to in Robstown. The purpose was to encourage community vendors to come out and showcase their talents, as well give something to do to Robstown residents.
“They were hanging out, they were talking, they were lauging, they were hugging each other, they were talking to people they haven’t seen in months, and years,” Gilbert and Patricia Zapata said. “And that’s what we want, we want to be able to continue that community here. You know even if its for a couple of hours every week, that is what we want to continue.”
Friday, Sept. 13 will be the second-ever Market on Main, taking place from 5 to 8 p.m. There will be 12 vendors, which is double compared to the previous Market on Main, and the hope is to make this event keep growing.
