OTR CHAMBER PRESENTS SECOND SUNDAY “Second Line Sunday on Main”

OTR’s oldest street festival returns to Main Street in August, with its celebration of the great New Orleans tradition

WHAT: Returning for its 18th year, Second Sunday on Main (SSOM) , is a free neighborhood street festival in Cincinnati’s historic Over-The-Rhine neighborhood.

Cincinnati Music Accelerator brings their Mobile Stage Trailers to complement the SSOM Main Stage programming, making SSOM a THREE-stage festival.
