Historic Spaces & Places, PopUp Corsicana

Picture

​We're celebrating Corsicana's booming downtown with a weekend of opportunity, shows, and all-day family-friendly fun. See the newest popup shops, visit local hot spots and revel in the rich history, stay for a show, and wind down with friends.

Did you know 7 new Downtown shops and restaurants have opened in the last 3 months, with 4 more on the way? It's an exciting time to be in Corsicana! 

We'll have 10 popup shops showcased on April 8th, featuring local entrepreneurs and well-known regional professionals. 

We'll also have:
  • a biergarten hosted by Athens Brewing, Celebrating their 1st Year Anniversary!
  • musicians playing along Beaton Street
  • dog park and pet contests
  • walking history tour of our captivating downtown architecture
  • fashion show featuring downtown shops
  • gallery of local artistic talent along with Corsicana's own Angelita winery
  • MAGIC SHOW at the Corsicana Opry for the kiddos
  • performances Friday and Saturday night at the Warehouse Living Arts Center and the Palace Theater
Could you imagine this like a regular ole' bustling Saturday night downtown? That's what we're aiming for. Just a great place to hang out all day, meet up with friends and family, enjoy the things to do and see, and love this great town. 

Come see downtown's newest and old favorite places on Friday and Saturday, then dream about the possibilities in the spaces ripe with opportunity - for sale and lease - on the Downtown Property Tour Sunday.
