SAN ANTONIO — Pearl has announced the cancellation of its weekend Markets due to the expected freeze, citing safety concerns for vendors, staff, and visitors as colder temperatures move into the area.

In a message shared ahead of the weekend, Pearl officials emphasized that while many residents are preparing to stay warm, local farmers and producers face much harsher conditions. Many vendors are currently focused on protecting livestock and covering crops during freezing weather — work that continues regardless of market cancellations.

Organizers noted that a canceled market can result in significant losses for vendors, including unsold perishables and missed income. To help offset those impacts, Pearl is encouraging the community to show extra support once markets resume.

How the community can help:
When the markets return, shoppers are encouraged to stock up, purchase a little extra, try new products, and intentionally support vendors who rely on weekly sales.

“They feed us year-round,” the message reads. “Let’s have their backs when the weather clears.”

Pearl concluded the update by urging everyone to stay safe during the freeze and expressing appreciation for the community’s continued support. The Markets are expected to return once conditions improve.
