RENTAL AGREEMENT FOR MARKET SQUARE

For rental information call 956-541-5560.

Originally built in 1850, Market Square opened as an open air market in 1852. For the rest of the 19th century, many Brownsville residents bought their fresh foods from the many stalls found in the Square. Even after being damaged by a hurricane in 1867, Market Square continued to operate as a market on the first floor and city offices on the second. By the 1940s, the stalls had been closed in, and by the 1980s the city bus station opened.

The Brownsville Historical Association oversees the indoor area of Market Square and it is best suited for large gatherings. This venue can support up to 200 people. The Market Square Event Hall is a versatile venue that has hosted a variety of fundraisers, public programs, festivals, dinners, weddings, and private parties. For more information, please call 956-548-1313 or email rentals@brownsvillehistory.org.
