Out & about: Get free samples at Roanoke City Market Building on Sunday

A little food, a little beer and a little bluegrass will combine to lure citizens to the Roanoke City Market Building this Sunday for a meet-and-greet with vendors.

At “Meet the Market,” shoppers will have a chance to taste free samples provided by the food court’s nine vendors: Queso Southwestern Grill, Habana Cafe, Allsports Cafe, Euro Bakery, Firefly Fare, Fork in the Market, Bayou Snowballs, New York Subs and Hong Kong Restaurant.

The Jefferson Center has booked two live bands, Gravel Road and Acoustic Endeavors, to serenade the crowd. There will also be children’s activities and beer for sale from Devil’s Backbone.

Free parking will be available at the Tower Garage at 10 S. Jefferson Street.
