When most people think “outdoor market,” they picture rows of tents, a few food vendors, and some light shopping. That’s not what you’ll find here. 2nd Sundays on Mill brings the whole street to life on select Sundays in November, January, February, and April from 10 AM to 3 PM with live music, street performers, hands-on, family activities, and food and drink that fit the feel of each month’s theme.

From 3rd Street to 7th Street, Mill Avenue is completely closed to cars and opened to you. That means wide-open streets for walking, biking or skating while you enjoy the vendors, music, art, and community that's buzzing up and down the historic avenue.

Of course, you’ll still find plenty of local makers and small businesses ready to share their goods (around 75+ vendors to be more specific😲), but the experience goes way beyond browsing booths. We could tell you all day that this isn’t your average market, but it’s better to show you. Here are some of the experiences from past 2nd Sundays to prove it:

• Live music on multiple corners that turns Mill Avenue into its own mini venue — we’ve hosted everything from solo acoustic artists and DJs to mariachi bands, African drummers, and full local bands.
• Street performers and roaming entertainers like lion dancers, stilt walkers, a full brass band, and even 10-foot roaming puppets. Surprise pop-ups have included a pet costume parade, BMX stunt shows, and a pop-up roller rink.
• Family-friendly fun with large lawn games, scavenger hunts, mini golf, and plenty of crafts to keep little hands busy.
• Hands-on activations and interactive art where you can tie-dye a tote bag, make a custom soap, pot your own mini terracotta plant, decorate custom dog biscuits for your pup, or even participate in a community art project with local artists.
• Food and drink vendors to keep you fueled while you browse, from coffee, fresh squeezed lemonades and shaved ice to handmade southern desserts and New Orleans beignets. 

Supporting local creativity is at the core of 2nd Sundays. Every event lifts up our community of artists, makers, and performers by giving them a platform to share their talents with thousands of visitors. One piece of programming we’re especially proud of is the Kid’s Market. Introduced two seasons ago, it’s become a sweet way to highlight young entrepreneurs who are just starting out. From hand drawn pieces of frame-worthy artwork to hand-crafted jewelry and jewelry boxes, these kid-run booths bring fresh energy and remind us that creativity doesn’t have an age limit.

No two 2nd Sundays are the same, and that’s the best part. Each month brings a new theme, new energy, and new reasons to come back. The 2025-2026 season lineup includes:

As each month's event gets closer, new details about each theme’s programming and lineup will be unveiled on the event's webpage. Stay tuned here to find out more!
