Many other vendors and downtown businesses will be present so you can shop local for your perfect Mother’s Day gift. Sample and vote for your favorite salsa while you learn about new businesses downtown.

“We are very excited to see a new downtown business open this weekend. Southern Accent has lazer art and can personalize just about anything, portraits, wood, tumblers, rocks and more. They are local and we shop local!”

Throughout the night, a DJ sponsored by El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant will be providing music to get you on your feet and dance the night away!
