Shoppers look through discounted items outside Mountain Brook Village stores during a previous Market Day. This year the sale event, held by the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce, will take place on July 16.
To help kick start sales on what is a typically a slow month for merchants, Mountain Brook Village will host its 15th Annual Market Day on Saturday, July 16.
The event, sponsored by the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce, will incentivize shoppers to shop local thanks to an assortment of discount deals and giveaways. The European-style sidewalk and tent sale will feature deep discounts up to 75 percent off. The village's sidewalks are set to be, like in years past, lined with vendors, discounts, tents full of merchandise and countless bargains.
Dozens of vendors are set to participate this year, many with deals both inside and outside their shops.
Participating merchants are known to feature music and other special events in coordination with the one-day sale, as well as preview sales leading up to the main sale day.
The annual day of sales for merchants across the village is set to be held from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Though the event began 15 years ago as a celebration of Bastille Day organized by former Christine’s owner Jean Clayton, Market Day has since evolved to include more merchants and feature a general celebration of the village’s merchants. After three years of the Bastille Day celebration, the event evolved into Market Day, held on the third Saturday in July since then.
