2026 Second Saturdays starts this weekend!

✨ Calling All Downtown Urbana Business Owners! ✨

January’s Second Saturday will look a little different — and we’re excited about it!

As part of America 250-Ohio, our January theme is “Firsts & Originals.” Instead of vendors and food trucks, we’re putting the spotlight right where it belongs — on Monument Square District brick-and-mortar businesses.

We’re inviting local Downtown Urbana business owners to share what makes your business a First or an Original. It doesn’t have to be big or historic — personal stories count too!

💡Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

-First business owner in your family
-Original shop in Urbana (or one of the oldest!)
-First woman-owned, minority-owned, or family-owned business in your industry
-First time turning a passion or hobby into a storefront
-Original recipes, products, or services you can only find here
-First downtown location for your business
-A business that’s been passed down through generations

We’ll be highlighting participating businesses throughout January and during Second Saturday, helping residents and visitors discover the stories behind our local shops.

💡 Interested? Comment below or message us with your “First” or “Original” story — we’d love to feature you!

Let’s kick off America 250 by celebrating the people and places that make Downtown Urbana special. ❤️
