I love farmer's/night markets. I love trying food samples and seeing all the great things that local vendors have to offer.
With that being said, the Magnolia Center Marketplace is really neat! This night market is held near Riverside Plaza and is open from 6pm-9pm on Fridays. Parking is free and is fairly easy to find since there's a small parking lot right nearby.
There's live music, entertainment, and all sorts of amazing smells coming from all of the food stands. They have stands for homemade jewelry, candles, soaps, clothes, and etc. The vendors are all incredibly friendly and are more than happy to give samples and answer questions about their products.
I reeeeally wish I had brought more money to this place. But maybe it's a good thing I didn't because I literally would've spent all my money. All of the samples I tried were just SO GOOD. Like, just take my money already, haha.
In the end, my only purchases of the day came from the kettle corn stand and the tamale stand. BUT I will definitely be back again to try and buy more food!
The only con is that it's a looot smaller than other farmer's/night markets I've been to. You can probably finish looking at everything in under an hour. But this place is definitely fantastic!
