Market Day makes music

The hills will be alive with the sound of music as Wimberley Market Day occurs on Saturday, April 2. An outstanding lineup of popular music makers take the three stages at Lions Field to help usher in the spring season in Wimberley. On the Pavilion Stage is the always popular Little Beverly and the Shades whose renditions of popular rock and roll classics will get you up on your feet and dancing. Their renditions of 50s and 60s classics is a perfect match for a beautiful spring day at Wimberley Market Day. On the Shady Grove Stage is the rock star and home-grown dynamo Lance Lipinsky whose versions of rock and roll hits never fails to please his audience. Born and raised in Wimberley, Lipinsky exhibits an energetic musical persona inspired from the past, carrying on the timeless tradition of mid-century Rock & Roll music. Phoenix Jordan plays the Hill Top Stage in a way that makes you happy and helps you enjoy Market Day. All the music is free at Market Day and goes naturally with a cool drink and delicious Market Day food. The music begins on each stage around 11 a.m.

Wimberley Market Days will feature over 400 booths where the shopper can select from an outstanding variety of items. This year, the Wimberley Lions celebrate their 50th year at Lions Field. In 1972 Wimberley Market Day moved from the square in downtown Wimberley to its present-day location, a mile or so west of downtown on FM 2325. At that time, the Wimberley Lions purchased 7 acres of the current 20-acre site and named it Lions Field. Today, Wimberley Market Day has grown from one concession stand and about 100 vendors to 10 concession stands and over 400 booths.

Wimberley Market Day is held on the First Saturday of each month March through December, rain or shine. In April, shopping hours are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Lions Field is located off FM 2325, about a mile from the Wimberley Square. The $5 donation accepted at the Lions Club’s parking lots and all food and drink sales helps to fund the various grants and scholarships distributed by the Wimberley Lions Club which has given back of $4,000,000 to the Wimberley community.
