Carlsbad Village Street Faire is This Sunday November 1, 2009 in Carlsbad Village, California

It's that time again, for the town of Carlsbad to host one of the largest outdoor one-day street fairs in the country, on Grand Avenue from Carlsbad Blvd. (the Coast Road) to Jefferson in the heart of downtown just a few blocks from the beach.

The Carlsbad Street Faire (there is also one held annually in May) generally attracts about 90,000+ visitors, practically the entire Carlsbad population, to 850+ vendors that are expected, many of whom return year after year.

IT'S LIKE A MEGA SIDEWALK SALE or GARAGE SALE!!

This year's Carlsbad Village Street Faire, in the 35^thseason, is once again hosted by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce on Sunday November 1, from 8 am until 4 pm. The array of things to buy is hard to describe - clothing and accessories, household products, jewelry, art work, antiques, gifts, and so much more.

As always there will be a beer and wine garden, sponsored by the Rotary Club, with entertainment by live bands and a large screen TV. The food court, with more than 50 different booths, will offer an almost endless variety of edibles. Or enjoy the famous pancake breakfast that the Kiwanis Club serves every year (25 now) at the Carlsbad railroad depot nearby.

Children will be able to enjoy the children's area, with rides, games, a super slide, a bounce house, arts and crafts, a rock climbing wall, face painting and much more.

Parking, as one would expect, can be a challenge, so getting there early is a good idea. Shuttles will be provided every 20 minutes from two locations - the Poinsettia Coaster Station (on Avenida Encinas just off Poinsettia to the south), and the NW corner of Sears at the Westfield Plaza to the east, near Route 78 and Jefferson.

If you enjoy outdoor fairs, the Carlsbad Street Faire is a biggie, this coming Sunday November 1 from 8 until 5. Shop until you drop...or run out of money. Keep in mind, the holidays are coming!!

Sounds like a fun family day and great food. Enjoy it.

Hi Jeff, This sounds like something I want to see since I have never been there for this . These fall events near the holiday are so enjoyable to go to.

Get the word out. Get the word out. Folks on Google looking for sidewalk sales and garage sales will enjoy this event.

Sounds like a lot of fun Jeff. I hope you get a chance to be part of it.

Hi Jeff -- Nothing like a local fair, especially one with the location and proxmity of the ocean. I just checked out the videos on your companion post, very well done!

Oh wow, I haven't been to Carlsbad since I went there for my B&Co. Mentor training and this would have been a great event to have run into while we were there. Have a great time.

Jeff, this sounds like so much fun. We have a Taste of our Town (TOOT) once a year here in Lewisburg WV. THe main street is closed and people come out in droves.

Jeff: This sounds like a lot of fun... a little far out of town for me this year... I hope you'll share some pictures.

Terry - I wish I COULD make it this year - it is an amazing fair that I have seen in teh past - but I will be on a plane heading off on vacation.

William - go check it out. You can do the reporting since I will be away. :)

Jeff

Lenn - and they do in droves. The number of folks showing up for these, especially at this time of year, is amazing.

Jeff

Sounds like a good time Jeff. Sorry I can be there....Enjoy!

Love Carlsbad, I wish I could make it but my arms get tired flying cross country :-)

This is a great street fair! Fun for everyone! (although my husband would probably disagree as he is DRAGGED to this every year) The weather should be beautiful this weekend as long as the wind dies down! Love the Kettle Korn!
