ABOUT SECOND SUNDAY ON MAIN

Second Sunday on Main, or “SSOM”, started in 2004,  as a way to drive more daytime traffic to what was then known as the Main St. Entertainment District. The OTR Chamber, local property owners, businesses and residents started putting together plans for what was then known as “Sunday Markets on Main”, a street fair featuring Main Street businesses, crafty vendors on sidewalks, and pop-up shops in vacant storefronts – which are harder to find these days as Main Street’s storefronts are now full of diverse small businesses offering all sorts of amazing products, eats and services.

Today, SSOM continues to drive Main Street’s local business economy, but has also evolved into being known as an accelerator for aspiring entrepreneurs, as the event provides a platform to network, sell their products, and build a customer base. The event’s monthly themes reflect the culture of the Cincinnati and OTR community, creating a unique space for local artists and musicians showcase their talents. And let’s not forget the shopping! With over 40 storefronts and up to 100 vendors, you won’t walk away empty handed.

What is Second Sunday on Main? It's a fun place hang with family and friends, a hub to meet your neighbors, a shopping destination, a platform to showcase local talent, and a steppingstone for entrepreneurs. Come find out for yourself and meet us on Main for the 2024 Second Sunday season.
