Shoppers will taste desserts made by merchants and choose winners. This is similar to Wassail Fest, but with yummy sweets!
The City of Nacogdoches Main Street department is hosting a brand new event downtown! On August 12, 2017, we will have our first Main "Sweet" Treats and Beats event from 11 AM to 3 PM.
The Main "Sweet" Treats and Beats event will showcase a wide range of various desserts and sweet treats for visitors to taste and judge. These treats will be made by the merchants of participating stores in the downtown area. After visitors sample the treats, they can cast their votes in any of the ballot boxes found at the participating shops.
This downtown event will coincide with tax free weekend, encouraging visitors to shop for new clothing and household items while they enjoy the homemade treats from downtown merchants. Restaurants in the downtown area are encouraged to serve lunch specials during the event to offer a break from sweet treats for the visitors.
Currently, this is the list of downtown merchants that have signed up to make a sweet treat and participate in this event. If you would like to be a part of this event and do not see your name, please email us and you will be added to the list.
