The event, which is hosted by the Old Mandeville Business Association (OMBA) and its member businesses, will feature dozens of artist pop-ups, food vendors, live music and more at local businesses on Saturday, April 24 from 10AM to 4PM.
Old Mandeville Shop Local Saturday is returning in the Spring of 2021. The activity will take place outside of businesses on and around Girod Street, stretching from the Mandeville Trailhead to Lakeshore Drive – about 6 city blocks.
The Old Mandeville business community joined together to host the first Shop Local Saturday in December of 2020 as a way to support local commerce and give merchants a much needed boost during the holiday season. The event was extremely well received, drawing hundreds of patrons to Old Mandeville throughout the day to eat, shop and play in a safe and socially distanced manner. OMBA leaders say they now plan to host the event several times per year.
Attendees will enjoy live outdoor musical performances by 8Track Acoustic, Eversong Thieves and more! Times and performance locations will be announced on the Old Mandeville Business Association Facebook page in the coming weeks. There will also be pet adoptions and “Spring Mini” pet photography sessions available at Mandeville Animal Hospital. While strolling Shop Local Saturday, attendees are also encouraged to stop by the City of Mandeville’s weekly Trailhead Community Market, located at the Mandeville Trailhead just off Girod Street, from 9AM-1PM.
