Come to the 61st Annual Fair Oaks Spring Fest May 1&2 - lots of fun!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Gold, Fair Oaks

Fair OaksFor the past 60 years, Fair Oaks California has been putting on this great celebration the first weekend in May.  It was previously known as Fiesta Days, but only the name has changed.  All the fun, games, great food, and one of Northern California's best car shows are still favorites that attract fans from all over.

This is the 61st Annual Fair Oaks Spring Fest, and this year’s theme is “Go Green for Spring.”

The fun will include entertainment for the whole family, and the event includes a parade, toilet bowl race, children's games, food and craft vendors and much, much more, including some great raffle prizes. 

All of this takes place in Fair Oaks Village, at adjoining Plaza and Village Parks. Plaza ParkCome and join the fun from 10 am - 4 pm each day.  Admission is FREE, except for the kids’ carnival rides, for which there is a small price for an all-day ticket.

The parade starts off the festivities on Saturday morning, with Miss Fair Oaks presiding.

Last year the car show had more than 200 entries, and if you enjoy classic cars and gorgeous and unusual vehicles, you should be sure to be there on Sunday.

The schedule is set forth below, and for full enjoyment, you may want to come both days.  While the Village proper will be closed to traffic, there is some parking on surrounding streets, but the best plan is to park across Sunrise Blvd in the parking lot of Scandinavian Designs furniture store (Sunrise Blvd and Winding Way), and a shuttle will pick you up and bring you to the festival.

I'll see you there!                                                                                                                                 Map of Village Park and Plaza Park

A festival by any other name is still a festival! Here's hoping the weather is as good as the turnout for the

61st Annual Fair Oaks Spring Fest!

Hi Craig - It is always a lot of fun, and there is always stuff of interest to moms, to dads, to kids, and even to teens (not to mention lots of good food).

Susan, we have festivals like this around Jacksonville. They are traditions and we look forward to them every year.

Susan, so I was just wondering who won that frog jump competition?  Sounds like a fun day.

Hi Susan - I actually managed to catch a glimpse of the parade that morning, and have dinner at Carmelita's later that evening!  On Mother's Day, I had breakfast at the Village Bistro. 

Awhile back I blogged about The Village, with it's population of chickens, quaint shops, and cafes.  I also mentioned how fortunate you were to have your office in the thick of it.  Here's that blog:

Thank you Myrl.  I did go back and read your post, and thank you for the mention and the photo of our office.  I had missed it before - I have to admit that since the AR down time my schedule is topsy-turvy and I haven't been spending the same amount of time here that I had been.  I'm getting back into it though. :)
