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 35th season, 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!!
