Food, shopping, music and fun: Miami Second Saturday

Posted

Get your Sonoran hotdog fix from Gordo’s lonchera (the proper name for a Sonoran food truck) or a pulled pork plate from The Lunchbox, while DJ Dacite Services provides music from classics to modern pop and country hits, during the Second Saturday three-block party on Sullivan Street in downtown Miami Dec. 11 from 1 to 5 p.m.

Carefully timed as a holiday season event on the afternoon leading into Globe’s big Christmas Light Parade, Sullivan Street downtown will be closed to motor vehicle traffic - allowing guests a safe place to walk, rollerblade, skateboard, create chalk art, dance, picnic, set up lawn chairs and enjoy street vendors, food trucks and live music. There is no vendor fee to set up and sell. Vendors are welcome to sign up; all that’s required is to complete and return a vendor application form in advance. To obtain one, email Phil Stewart at coolthings@stewartsnook.com, or call or text (480) 993-8611.

Bring cash and your appetite, too! Food vendors include Gordo’s Sonoran Hotdogs, The Lunchbox, and the irresistible aroma of caramelized, just-slightly-and-oh-so-perfectly-burnt sugar wafting from Deb Yerkovich’s Cotton Candy Kids cart. Local restaurants will be open, too: Guayo’s El Rey, Burger House, and Jilbertos - with cold beer, creative cocktails and one-of-a-kind ambiance at Wild Horses Saloon. Stop by Jim Coates Gallery for a mix of art, pastries or an artisan cup of cappuccino or hot chocolate.

Stores that will remain open for extended hours of evening browsing and shopping include Grandma’s Antiques, Miami Mercantile, Miami Rose, Stewart’s Antique Nook, My Mom’s House of DZynes and Michael 23’s art galleries across from Miami Town Hall. Watch for street vendors, too, including Lazy Lizard pottery and jewelry; BCO South jewelry, woodworking and Western art; Talkala’s Native Arts & Crafts, selling pottery and handmade jewelry; Cindy’s Forever Flowers handcrafted items; and Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament church, selling gift baskets with a variety of different treats and surprises in each basket and some incredible raffles.

New vendors may set up starting at noon against the curbs along Sullivan Street. Vendor space is free of charge, but all must fill out an application to obtain a vendor parking pass to be allowed on Sullivan Street for setup. Food vendors must comply with Gila County health guidelines (Gila County Temporary Food Vendor Permit applications are online).
