The Riverside Arts Market and Melanin Market are joining together this weekend to celebrate Black History Month at RAM. In addition to the regular lineup of vendors, the market under the Fuller Warren Bridge will include 50 more Black farmers, artists and food vendors. There will also be hands-on activities for the whole family, including a chance to make art inspired by Black artists, plus a DJ and live musical performances to highlight Black history and culture. To accommodate the additional vendors and activities, the market will expand its footprint across the street to Artist Walk Plaza to double the fun. Check it out from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday.
