Main Street ‘Downtown Live’ is Back in Texarkana for 2024

Main Street Texarkana's Downtown Live is back for 2024 beginning on January 12.

Downtown Live

The monthly event that brings live art to historic downtown Texarkana is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the second Friday of every month. Downtown Live is a collaborative effort between artists, performers, and downtown businesses.

Each month, locally owned businesses in the Main Street Texarkana District stay open after hours to offer visitors deals and discounts while local artists and musicians share their talents with the community.

Downtown Live takes place along Broad Street and adjacent streets in the oldest section of Texarkana.

“Historically, this was the original business district,” says Main Street Director, Ina McDowell. “This area, Broad Street in particular, contains some of the oldest buildings in the community.”

“Downtown Live is a way to bring live art and music to downtown,” adds Ms. McDowell.

Broad Street is now part of both the Arts and Historic District and the Entertainment District in addition to the Main Street District.

Area artists set up in one of our downtown galleries or on the sidewalks to create lovely works while the public watches. We have great live music as well.”
