SINTON, Texas – Inspired by the neighboring Corpus Christi’s First Friday ArtWalk festival where local vendors, food trucks, and live music all gather in downtown Corpus, Sinton has now launched its own version of the event.
The new Second Saturday Art Walk being introduced in downtown Sinton hopes to ignite a new nightlife that the otherwise quiet city has never seen before. Locals of all ages can gather and check out the vendors, food, and live performers at the monthly event.
Two festivals have been held so far, with the 100 blocks of South Rachal Street transformed into a lively gathering space for visitors and vendors on the second Saturday of each month.
The event is run by the CATS Market Incorporated nonprofit designed to support small local businesses and artists. Introducing the Sinton Art Walk will help foster community with not only Sinton but neighboring areas in Nueces County.
“Our goal is for Sinton’s Second Saturday to become a lasting community tradition – one that continues to grow, supports local talent, strengthens downtown, and brings people together month after month,” said CATS Market President Connie Echols of the long-term goals for the event.
“We hope that this event brings in visitors from other communities and helps boost the Sinton economy.”
The Sinton Artwalk will continue on the second Saturday of every month. The organizers hold high hopes to expand with new and returning artists and vendors. They encourage all local vendors and artists to apply to be a part of the evening life in Sinton, Corpus Christi, and other events they may hold in the foreseeable future.
