invite you to enjoy a day filled with live
entertainment, vendors, food, family fun on the grounds of the Historic Port
Isabel Lighthouse! Queen Isabella Market Day is scheduled for
Saturday, April 14th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no
admission charge to the event. Vendors offering collectibles, antiques, local
