11th Annual Reading Street Faire Sunday

READING, Ma. - Come hungry, leave happy.

The 11th annual Reading Street Faire is Sunday from noon- 5 p.m. with the usual lineup of food and fun. And it helps that two things will be missing Sunday. There's no conflict with the first Patriots game (it's an 8 p.m. start) and Hurricane Dorian should be gone by Sunday (we hope).

For a third straight year, the Street Faire is hosted by the Reading Rotary Club and is an annual community event bringing together local restaurants, retail businesses and community groups for a fun-filled, family-friendly day. With a children’s area, band and dance performances and numerous vendor and community group booths to visit, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

According to Rotary President Mike Collins, they expect approximately 15,000 attendees and more than 200 vendors to take part. Prior to the event, the Reading Fall Street Faire 5k Race will take place at Washington Park, 100 Washington Street, at 8:30 am Sunday.

You can pick up your bib number and registration package on race day at Washington Park from 7-8:15 am. You can also grab your bib number beforehand on Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm at "Tread on the Mill" located at 13 High Street in Reading. It's located in the back of the lot behind Square Liquors.

Cost to participate is $25 registering in advance online. Day of race registration $30 cash or check only. There are no refunds; the race is rain or shine. Runners should arrive at Washington Park at 7:45 for a prompt 8 o'clock start. Register online at fallstreetfaire.com.
