In addition to exceptional shopping, a Food Truck Court, Wine Bistro, Live Music, Chalk Art by Pearland area artists, Kid’s Interactive Art Station, and a Pop-Up Paint Studio presented by Art & Kustom Kreations will be part of the festivities.

“We’re excited to add a new, Saturday night 2-hour concert featuring The Spinsations starting at 5:30 p.m. We’re happy to provide visitors with another way to enjoy the event,” according to Kim Sinistore, executive director of the Pearland Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The Pop-Up Paint Studio presented by Pearland’s own Art & Kustom Kreations is back by popular demand.  Visitors can enjoy FREE paint instruction classes with sessions planned throughout the weekend for children and adults.  Visitors can sign up for the classes on-site during event days.
