Whether you’re in the mood for a road trip this weekend or just looking to get away from the Wrestlemania crowd, head up to the Arkansas border and check out the second annual Ruston Railroad Makers and Music Festival. The festival is in Ruston’s historic downtown district from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday, April 7 and feature 140 “makers” (artists, artisans and food vendors) from Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas.

The music will begin at 3 p.m., with six bands taking the stage at Railroad Park. New Orleans legends and Vaughn’s Thursday mainstays Corey Henry & the Treme Funktet will headline alongside Dauzat St. Marie, a Ruston-raised singer-songwriter duo now based in L.A. The Golddust Manequins (Monroe), Rella (Shreveport), Caleb Elliott (Shreveport) and The Good Paper of Rev. Robert Mortimer (Greenville, MS) fill out a strong Gulf Coast bill.

“This is a special event every year and there isn’t another time to catch all of these talented artists in one place like this,” Joshua Mitchell, the festival’s founder, said. “As Ruston’s first music festival, this is a great opportunity to fully enjoy the new stage at Railroad Park.” The Makers Fair portion of the festival is free and open to the public, with an $8 entry fee to Music at Railroad Park. All ages welcome.
