The free open-air market will run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. on April 26, in and around Lake Arthur Park, conveniently located on the lakefront at the end of Arthur Avenue. You can enjoy free admission and parking.
'Art in the Park is a perfect springtime market, offering something for everyone to enjoy from shopping to food to live music in the park,' organizer Joanna Lejeune said.
This year's festival will showcase nearly 50 local and regional artists, craftsmen, bakers, retailers and others from throughout the state, with one-of-a-kind homemade crafts, repurposed items and other merchandise.
'People will be able to shop under the trees in the park or bring their lawn chairs to listen to music in the park,' Lejeune said.
Vendors will offer wooden furniture, woodcrafts, home decor, wreaths, candles, soaps, jewelry, crocheted items, purses and handbags, clothings items, cups and tumblers and more. Vendors will also be selling canned jellies and jams, candy, and fresh baked goods.
Shoppers can meet the artist and crafters, discover their techniques, and learn about the inspiration behind their unique creations.
Lejeune also noted that it is a perfect opportunity to shop for Mother's Day, graduation, Father's Day or any other special occasion.
Food vendors will be selling tamales, pork steaks, barbecue burgers, pulled pork nachos, hot dogs, seafood pasta, sno-cones and more.
Karmic Souls, a local family band featuring singer/songwriters Amy, Jenna and Damian Broussard, will perform from 10 a.m.- 2p.m. The group plays acoustic driven covers and originals.
The Jeff Davis Parish Library's bookmobile will also be on site.
Lejeune encourages attendees to take their time shopping and enjoy the park, noting that children can play in the enclosed playground while their parents shop.
Art in the Park began in 2013 to bring people to downtown Lake Arthur and provide local artists a venue to showcase their talents and sell their items.
Local restaurants and shops along Arthur Avenue will also be open during the event.
Parking will be available downtown, within walking distance of the park.
