Businesses in downtown Brownwood have come together to bring a new monthly event to the community. Organized by Levi Packer, owner of Saturdays, 2nd Sundays will have participating businesses in Downtown Brownwood open and offering you, “something fun and special to do” every second Sunday of the month

Participating businesses invite the community to come explore the historic charm of the downtown area, shop the newly opened stores, enjoy food and drinks, and the unique experience that downtown has to offer.

Packer said, “It is wonderful to hear people constantly raving about what a wonderful place Brownwood is to live and work. We’re seeing an influx of people coming to visit regularly from near and far, and a large amount that have plans to move here or want to move here. People can’t say enough positive things about our town, and that is a testament to the hard work and spirit of the beautiful people here! However, of all the positive things being said, there are two grievances we hear on a regular basis. One, there is nothing for people to do in Brownwood on a Sunday, and two, nothing is open when people have a day off. So, it was really our customers and the community of Brown County which inspired us to create this event. People aren’t asking for the world. They just want more options on Sunday. And, downtown felt inspired to get on board with that.”

Packer continued,“This is different from other events, in that, there is not a lot of pomp and circumstance or road closures or high-planning. It is an old-fashioned, down-home, relaxed option to enjoy for the summer. People can get food, drinks, explore the newly opened shops, discover our famous murals and amazing architecture, have a picnic in the park, run into old friends, and connect with others. It’s a time to be with friends and/or family, or just to have a day for yourself! People can come and go, or make a whole afternoon of it. Our hope is that people just have a good time, and feel that we are there for them.”
