Sunday Market returns bigger than ever
Celebrating its fifth year, the Sunday Market is bigger than its ever been before with nearly 60 vendors lining Cherry Street Sunday.
Vendors will including art, antiques, furniture, hand-made good and a variety of other unique items at the annual Sunday Market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Cherry Street between Second and Third streets, said Tom Bippus, owner of Bippus Frame Shop and one of the event's organizers.
In addition to the vendors, Sunday Market will feature a variety food trucks in the Old Town Ladies and Gents parking lot and lawn, live music and beer garden in the back yard of Old Town. Bippus' lot will host an "e is for everyone" booth and animal adoption booths from three area agencies -- Vanderburgh Humane Society, It Takes a Village and Another chance for animals.
Christian South-Alderson, owner of Evansville-based Smith & Hide, said Sunday Market is one of his favorite events throughout the year. South-Anderson has hand-made leather goods including bags, wallets and belts at Rivercity Mercantile, Farm 57 and Sixth Street Soapery.
"It's such a good show," he said. "Everyone comes out and really enjoys themselves. There's music, food trucks, a beer garden -- it's a great day in Evansville. There are lots of fun things to do down there."
One of his newer items that have been quite popular and will be at Sunday Market are his wallets and other items made old sporting goods such as baseball gloves, basketballs and footballs.
"I love the idea of people enjoying and carrying with them every day something made from an item that used to sit in a box in a garage or an attic."
Bippus said he's excited to see the event in full swing on Sunday. Musicians include Jimm Detalente and Laura Melendez, Cannonhands and The Apprentice.
"Come and support local artists and artisians," he said. "Everything is from within the Tri-State and handmade. This is a great way to shop and support local."
