Fall Street Fair - Oct. 9

Yellow Springs Street Fair is right around the corner. October 9 is the date to remember for this truly unique 1-day festival that fills the streets with art, crafts, food, music and entertainment.

Street Fair is all about great food, from an array of vendors serving international cuisine to our excellent local restaurants; unique shopping from hundreds of vendors lining the streets or our own boutiques and the fun of an unexpected street performance or simply people watching.

Entertainment is always a focus at Street Fair and this fall is no exception. At the Jackson Lytle Lewis Stage located next to the Food Tent, local favorite, Egyptian Breeze Belly Dancers kick off the entertainment at noon and again at 2 pm. Musical performances start at 1 with the sea shanty sounds of the Hardtackers and the acoustic sounds of Living Daylights at 3 pm and Sweet Betsy at 4 pm.

The Street Fair Music Festival & Beer Garden at the Bryan Center starts at noon and lasts until 7. Sample one of many beers including several Oktoberfest varieties as you listen to the great musical line-up. The Show kicks things off at noon, with new performers every hour including Sawgrass, Dustin Vincent, Slipstream, Mercury Mouth, Romeo Champagne closing with The Werks. At 10, Peach’s Grill has Romeo Champagne and The Werks performing for free.
