We learned an important lesson this year when we made our last-minute OkraFest changes.

It wasn’t the okra-bedazzled fiesta we’d planned for, but we discovered that happy hour with our pals is LOTS of fun. And we think all of us deserve more fun.

You’re invited to a special holiday mix & mingle between ‘Friends of GOFM’ and GOFM Staff & Board Members. Daiquiri Time Out is decked out in seasonal cheer with their ‘Miracle’ bar menu + decorations, so it’s the perfect time for us to make merry while celebrating the great folks who support Galveston’s Own Farmers Market.

Date & Time:

Saturday, December 12

5:00 PM

Location:

At Daiquiri Time Out

2701 Market Street Galveston, TX 77550
