2nd Saturday celebration continues June 9

Make sure to mark your calendars for Trussville’s Second Saturday Downtown summer events series.

Sponsored by the Trussville Downtown Merchants Association, the series features a different theme each month through September, event coordinator Maegan Reynolds said. 

May’s event was a street fair with carnival and fair activities, she said.

Each Second Saturday begins at 10 a.m. and offers children’s activities and food trucks while more than 20 downtown merchants host different activities at their stores, she said.

“The goal of the project is to get people out having fun while supporting local businesses,” Reynolds said. “We have people returning month after month and expect around 2,000 to take part each Saturday.”

The Trussville Second Saturday Downtown summer events series schedule is:

June 9: Celebrating the Arts — spotlighting local artists including their music, theater and a variety of artwork.

July 14: Trussville Gives Back — different fundraising and community service projects.

Aug. 11: Get Down in Downtown — a block party with stage area for a variety of entertainment.

Sept. 8: Downtown Tailgate — celebrating the start of football season.
