Catie Pearl Sings 90s Jams


We weren’t walking through spiderwebs, we were walking through the 90s with Catie Pearl! Wild Peach Market was honored to host Catie Pearl on the Peach Stage, where she performed a variety of classic 90s hits all the way from Britney Spears to Radiohead. Catie’s energy and enthusiasm truly made the night, and her passion for what she does simply flows from every note she sings.


Catie Pearl drew quite the audience at Wild Peach Market, with everyone staying until the very end to cheer her on and sing along.Pearl can usually be found performing 90s Hits through Just a Girl: A Tribute to No Doubt, as well as her own individual gigs around Texas! Pearl shines as a singer and songwriter and it was a pleasure to have her join us to celebrate everything relating to the 90s!




Nostalgia Lives On


It’s hard to believe there was a time before the internet. The world felt a little smaller and moved at a slower pace. Keeping in touch meant handwritten letters, answering machines, and hoping your friend was home when you called the family phone. Plans had to be made in advance, gadgets were clunkier, and, well, fashion was definitely still figuring itself out.


Nostalgia is more than just remembering the past. It’s the feeling of being instantly transported back to another time, much like the moment in the film “Ratatouille” when a single bite of Remy’s ratatouille takes Ego back to his childhood and the comfort of his mother’s cooking. One familiar song, smell, or old toy can bring back a flood of memories and remind us of the moments that made us who we are.


For those of us who grew up in the ’90s, that might mean cassette tapes, digital pets we struggled to keep alive, gulping down cool water from a garden hose during scorching summer afternoons, Saturday morning cartoons, friendship bracelets, and staying outside until the streetlights came on. It was a time before constant notifications and endless scrolling, when moments were meant to be experienced and shared. Fun meant getting together with friends, using our imaginations, and creating memories that stayed with us.



There’s something special about revisiting those moments: the slower pace, the intentional living, and the simple joys. Not because we want to live in the past, but because they remind us how much happiness can be found in the little things.





Vendor Highlight: Nana’s House of Treats


Nana’s House of Treats was one of our special guests who brought sweet and savory treats that totally gave off “90s kid” vibes!

The Artist Alliance of Brazoria County Makes a Splash


The Artist Alliance of Brazoria County lets their creativity flow into everything they do, and Wild Peach Market was able to get a glimpse of that at our Art Swap and Pet Adoption Market! We were so honored to host their group and hope to have them back in the future! The Alliance has so many useful resources for our community, and their commitment proves that love for the arts won’t ever fade.


The Artist Alliance of Brazoria County isn’t just for crafts and painting events, it's a safe haven for creatives, offering a space of relaxation, artistry and community. Offering Art Therapy, Art Lessons and fun, engaging events led by each Artist Alliance member, the group’s heart is for their family they call Brazoria County and beyond. There isn’t ever a dull moment with the Alliance!


During the Market, The Alliance had face painting, crafts and a group painting that turned into a peach! We love their creativity, and can’t wait to see what they do next.




Horsing Around: No Thumbs Rescue


During our last market, you could see children riding atop horses throughout the property, and the special activity was brought to us by No Thumbs Rescue. No Thumbs Rescue has been a long-time partner with Wild Peach Market, bringing a variety of adoptable pets to the markets to hopefully make a connection with their forever family.


No Thumbs Rescue is lead by Kathleen Graham, whose dedication, love, and strength for every animal in her care is the heart of what she does. From cats to horses, Graham is passionate about giving animals a secind chance, and ultimately finding them a place to call home. No Thumbs Rescue is located in Wild Peach and is actively looking for volunteers.


Graham continues to fight for her rescue, and after visiting the rescue for ourselves, it is truly inspiring seeing how much she does for all of her friends with “No Thumbs”.


“These animals don’t have a voice… so we use ours.”

Snow White Gets a Spin



The Master’s Academy of Fine Arts Drama Group presented another amazing theater production, this time centered around the beloved fairytale “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”. This time, the prince isn’t the savior, but the Dwarves are, spinning a new tale each scene of what THEY say really happened. The audience laughed, smirked, and cheered for the young cast as they made their mark on the Peach Stage

March Sisters Steal the Show


The talented Mafa Drama Club presented snippets from Little Women during March’s Market, bringing a new aspect to our peach stage. We have always brought local vocalists to the Market, but this new theatrical addition is something special and close to our hearts, and we hope that all of our Peach Family will feel the same way.


Following the plot of Louisa May Alcott’s original novel, the play centered around the adventurous lives of The March Sister’s and the lessons they learn as they blossom into adulthood. Family, love, hardship and faith were the themes that made the book such a classic, and each student shined perfectly in their role and created a performance to remember.




Leah McKay Delivers Powerful Performance on Peach Stage


For the first time since founding Wild Peach Market, young vocalist Leah Mckay delivered powerful ballads Saturday night as the night began to soften. From popular hits to a few tunes of her own, McKay took the stage with grace, confidence and power. Her family and friends cheered her on from the crowd and smiled as she strummed her guitar and gave it all she had.


Ms. McKay has quite the range and already has music up and ready to stream on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. Her voice has power and confidence, and we can’t wait to have her back on our peach stage! We encourage our peach family to show her some love and check out her newest singles, All The Things and Look at Me Now.



Vendor Highlight: Flying-G-Citrus


Going with the market theme of a “Garden Par-Tea Social”, Flying-G-Citrus showed up and showed out with their variety of plants at our recent market. You couldn’t help but take a stroll and ask “what plant is that again?”. There were plenty of beautiful, healthy trees ready to find a forever home, and we only hope that a few lucky market-goers were able to find their match!
