We're celebrating our "independents" with a fantastic summer festival that's set to create a Camden Town vibe. Complementing our already vibrant mix of independent music venues and retailers, we'll have more than 50 stalls, a live unsigned music stage and entertainment every Saturday from 18 August until 8 September.
A real treat for anyone who fancies something a little less ordinary, traders will be selling everything from vintage to vinyl and beads to burlesque, and we've also got street performers and live music to keep you entertained.
Bands taking part on 18 August include alternative West Midlands rock band Captain Horizon, and on Saturday 25 August, you can catch Birmingham four piece Coronation Gypsies and indie band The Mosfets. Kerrang! Radio DJ Alex Baker will also be there during the festival.
The fun isn’t just limited to music and shopping either - if you fancy putting yourself in the picture, there'll be some great photo opportunities... In keeping with the festival vibe, The Square is laying on mud pits (for that real festival experience), chances to adorn yourself in festival attire (think neon leg warmers) and a campfire get together!
"This is our second summer festival and we're sure that this year it will be just as big a success," says the Square’s Centre Manager Yvonne Moulton.
"We are in the heart of Birmingham and there is a great atmosphere here with some fabulous unique shops and great entertainment - we're committed to the local community and to independent traders. The summer festival is a great way to show off what we can offer and to celebrate the Square’s independents."
A donation from the event will be made to Cash for Kids which provides a helping hand to disabled and disadvantaged children around Birmingham and the West Midlands.
