Street Fair Musical Lineup

October 8th 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.

New this fall, Street Fair has partnered with the Greene County Combined Health District for their annual fundraiser- “Adopt a Healthy Duck Campaign”. Both paper ducks ($1.00) and race ducks ($5.00) are available for purchase at locations throughout Greene County; the duck race will be held the day of Street Fair at 4 pm. Prizes for 1st-5th place and include $500.00 cash, $200.00 AAA travel certificate, and much more! You won’t want to miss out on this event for a good cause!
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 perform at noon and again at 2 pm. Musical performances start at 1 with Yellow Springs favorite Wheels, the acoustic sounds of Seth Ratliff at 3, followed by Alli King at 3:30. Jonathan Hamilton will perform at 4 and Sweet Betsy will take the stage at 4:30 pm.
