History
2nd Saturday was started by a collection of store owners that had an interest in promoting the arts in Collingswood. This monthly arts event, now under the umbrella of Collingswood Partners, Inc., has turned into one of the more popular town events and grows every month with new artists and participating store locations.
The first event in April of 2004 started off with 15 store locations participating. Now you'll find an average of 20-30 locations each month.
