By Nadine Guidry, Riviera Market Manager

This year will be our second year holding a market at Holly Beach. We have approximately 25 vendors signed up this year. Our first market will coincide with the Spring Equinox. We are sponsoring a Beach Sweep on Saturday, Mar. 19, the day of our opening market.

The market and beach sweep check in will be held at 2450 Heron Holly Beach Cottages and RV Rentals owned by Dustin and Cassandra Corner. They host our markets on their property and we want to start the Spring off right by cleaning the beach.

We are inviting school, church, families and any other groups who would like to help to come and enjoy the sand, water and sun.

Prizes will be awarded for the group with the most trash. We provide the trash bags and cold water and the groups provide the labor.

Our goal is to bring awareness; that the Cajun Riviera is alive and well and open for business!
