Lake Walk Town Center Welcomes Return of The Local

(BRYAN, Texas) – Lake Walk, the vibrant town center featuring lifestyle and outdoor pursuits, announces its signature weekly artisan market, The Local, resumes Sept. 25 and will occur every Tuesday through December.

The Local will take place at the Lake Walk pavilion and park from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m. Local and regional artisan vendors will be selling products such as produce, poultry, eggs, jams and jellies, pickled items, soaps, candles, starter herb and vegetable plants, hanging baskets and fresh cut flowers. Food trucks will be onsite, and live music will be performed on various days.

Unique to The Local this fall will be several holiday-themed markets designed to give attendees a different experience each month:

• October – Throughout the month, The Local will feature a pumpkin patch with all proceeds benefiting Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity. A special Trick or Treat version of The Local on October 30 will include vendors and community partners offering candy and treats for the children in attendance.
• November – The Local Thanksgiving market on November 20 will feature a special Thanksgiving basket giveaway filled with items from participating vendors. The Thanksgiving market will also offer a wide variety of baked goods and produce perfect for complementing any Thanksgiving meal.
• December – The Local wraps up its fall season with three Christmas-themed markets on November 27, December 4 and December 11. Highlights include: hot cocoa, Christmas cookies and pictures with Santa, along with festive holiday decorations, lights and more throughout Lake Walk Town Center.

“Now in its fourth season, The Local has turned into a signature event at Lake Walk Town Center,” says Kate Chapman, Lake Walk’s Special Events Coordinator. “Filled with local artisans, crafters, producers and farmers, The Local is a place to find unique and custom products you can’t find anywhere else.

“Shopping at The Local is a truly unique experience. Lake Walk provides a backdrop that allows vendors and their products to truly shine. There really isn’t another place in Bryan/College Station where you can pick up your favorite salsa while getting dinner from a food truck and enjoying the outdoors. The Local celebrates craftsmen, artisans and makers. Each vendor at the market is carefully selected through an application process. The main requirement – vendors must make their own products.”
