Now in its 14th year, Second Sunday on Main continues to bring Main Street merchants, vendors, food trucks and more to the neighborhood for one of the city’s most eclectic street festivals.
This month, SSOM kicks off Pride Month with a themed celebration. Watch as artist KC Hamant adorns Main Street with a chalk garden, enjoy Madcap Puppets’ performance of The Wizard of Oz and browse the food selections while listening to live music from local bands Blossom Hall, Jess Lamb and The Factory and Tracy Walker.
There will also be “drag races” (featuring local drag queens), the Missed OTR Pageant, a Big Bike Race, Fringe Festival previews, a Pet Wants Water Bark for dogs (with a wading pool and hydrant sprayer) and a biergarten lounge curated by Queen City Vignette.
In addition, check out Gone But Not Forgotten, a multi-panel display featuring candid photos, ephemera and a map of closed Cincinnati gay and lesbian bars.
Noon- 5 p.m. Sunday (June 8). Free. Main St., between 12th and Liberty, Over-the-Rhine, secondsundayonmain.org.
