This Week in Photos: 2nd Saturday in Oberlin

A bustling street on a summer Saturday morning in downtown Oberlin serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.

Vendors selling baked goods, vegetables, jewelry, handcrafted items, and other articles were nestled under canopy tents and next to tables throughout downtown and Tappan Square at the 2nd Saturday in Oberlin event on July 10. 

2nd Saturdays began last month as a means for visitors, students, and residents to enjoy music, explore downtown stores and businesses, and take part in family friendly games. 2nd Saturdays will take place every month this summer.

July’s theme—Family Fun and Music—invited guests to pick up a scavenger hunt passport and win a prize by finding musical instruments hidden in downtown businesses. Other events included performances by local musicians and Oberlin Conservatory students, an origami lesson for children, and a display of vintage Volkswagen vans.
