Holiday Street Fair To Return To Downtown Encinitas

ENCINITAS, CA — The Holiday Street Fair is returning to downtown Encinitas.

Hosted by Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association, the 39th annual event on Nov. 19 will include more than 450 vendors, as well as a beer garden, children's rides and three stages for live music.

Encinitas 101 adds more local vendors to the lineup every year "to support small businesses in Encinitas," the organization's spokesperson Kennan Loesch told Patch.

"Downtown Encinitas thrives when we hold community events that bring thousands of people to our town," Encinitas 101 Executive Director Irene Pyun told Patch. "We hope attendees this year come down to shop for the holidays and remember to support our brick-and-mortar shops as well."

This year, the beer garden hours have been extended from noon to 5 p.m. The family- and pet-friendly beer garden will feature the event's main entertainment stage.

The fair, sponsored by Ting Fiber Internet, will showcase several bands on the Beer Garden Stage, The Lumberyard Courtyard Stage, and The Hansen's Community Stage.

The Holiday Street Fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 19. Coast Highway 101 will be closed from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. from D Street to J Street for the event.
