A new farmers market is headed to Houma s Downtown Marina starting this Saturday
A new farmers market focusing on healthy eating will open Saturday in Houma.
Market at the Marina is a cooperative program by Terrebonne General Health System and the Houma Downtown Development Corporation.
The market, at Houma s Downtown Marina, 8228 Park Ave., will be open from 8 a.m. to noon the first Saturday of each month. Admission is free.
The market boasts 16 vendors selling all kinds of wares, including fresh produce and even dog treats.
The idea sprang from the hospital s annual Community Health Needs Assessment and the high rates of health issues in the area, Terrebonne General Wellness Specialist Jessica Ryan said.
Local artists and businesses bring the Mardi Gras spirit to downtown Houma
This time of any other year, the streets of downtown Houma are filled with parades, marching bands and other revelry.
This year it is much quieter, as the Carnival season has been a casualty of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but local artists and businesses have come together to bring a little bit of Mardi Gras cheer to downtown Houma.
While parades will not roll for Mardi Gras, what would ordinarily be part of the parade route will now host Artsy Gras, sponsored by the Bayou Regional Arts Council.
