Second Street Sales

Main Street Portsmouth pays homage to the street sales of old by shutting Second Street down twice a year, once in fall and once in spring, to bring in outside vendors and unite them with brick and mortar shops for a day of shopping.

The event starts at noon, perfect for lunch at one of downtown's awesome restaurants, and runs until 5 p.m., when most of the stores close for the day.

2020 dates are planned for June 6 and October 3.
