Downtown West Orange Street Fair Returns in June

The Downtown West Orange street fair is returning to West Orange for its 12th year early next month.

The street fair will take place on June 6 and will feature a wide variety of events and vendors. According to West Orange Township, there will be more than 100 vendors, a free tour of the Thomas Edison Laboratory, a classic car show, a beer garden and food court and Touch-a-Truck, a kid-centric event where children and adults alike can enjoy a behind- the-wheel experience with large municipal and service vehicles.

The street fair will be hosted by the Downtown Alliance and The Thomas Edison National Park on Main Street and Lakeside Avenue from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“This is our second year sponsoring the street fair. The Downtown Alliance wanted to create a signature event that shared our national park and business community with our residents,” Megan Brill, Director of the Downtown West Orange Alliance, said in a release from the township. “This year, we have well over 50 different resident businesses and community groups participating. In addition, we have more than 50 crafters and artists from our surrounding community. I have enjoyed meeting many new residents and learning even more about the citizens of West Orange.”

Additional events include an evening concert, featuring music from local band The Grip Weeds.

Street closings due to the street fair will be announced at a later date.
