19 Dec Mandolin Orchestra Plays Holiday Music at Barton Creek Farmers Market

Barton Creek Farmers Markets bring food, arts and people together for Austin Live Music, healthy food and healthy fun.

Just in time for Christmas preparations Barton Creek Farmers Market hosts an orchestra of local Austin mandolin players to celebrate the season while shoppers visit local farmers to add healthy foods to holiday meals.  Shoppers with their dogs and entire family bring an atmosphere of joy to every market. It is a place to meet the farmers and know your foods, to meet food artisans and find creative holiday ideas as well as prepared treats. So along with local farmers and healthy foods there are Austin musicians and Austin artists and craftsmen who show off their talents.

Barton Creek Farmers Markets at both locations offer their award winning open-air market with local foods, entertainment, children's activities, special events, and live music.
