OTR CHAMBER PRESENTS SECOND LINE SUNDAY ON MAIN ON AUGUST 8th

OTR’s oldest street festival returns to Main Street, celebrating the great New Orleans tradition of a Second Line Parade led by Nasti Nati Brass, and the Q-KIDZ Dance Team. Attendees are encouraged to join in this second line around OTR .

Returning for its 16th year, Second Sunday on Main (SSOM), is a free neighborhood street festival in Cincinnati’s historic Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. This monthly celebration includes vibrant arts and music programming, a diverse and eclectic vendor market, and the Braxton Brewing Biergarten lounge. Cincinnati Music Accelerator brings their Mobile Stage Trailer to 12th and Main, to complement the SSOM Main Stage programming.
August is time for the Second Line to celebrate the great New Orleans tradition. The Second Line Parade led by Nasti Nati Brass, Q-KIDZ Dance Team and stilt walkers from the Afrakan Artist Alliance steps off at 1:30pm at Main & Orchard St. Attendees are encouraged to bring their snazziest umbrella and join in this short second line around OTR. Each month from July to November, SSOM invites visitors and residents alike to explore Main Street’s 30+ participating shops, galleries, restaurants, and bars, along with more than 100 vendors. Second Sunday on Main has become more than just a street fair, as it has evolved into being an incubator festival, attracting aspiring entrepreneurs from all over the region to sell their goods, build their customer base and network with each other. The festival creators keep vendor fees low and are intentional with their outreach, working to recruit some of the region's newest and brightest entrepreneurs.
