All year round, the historic Fourth Avenue flourishes with local art, great food, tasty drinks, and interesting characters. But twice a year it’s flooded with even more.
The biannual Winter Street Fair is taking over Fourth Avenue with its family-friendly traditions from Friday, December 7 – Sunday, December 10.
Each year, more than 500,000 shoppers fill the avenue, and if they’re not shopping for gifts they’re shopping for something delicious to calm their appetite.
Luckily, the street fair brings several food options to keep you going as you shop around.
This year, more than 30 food vendors will set up on different corners of the avenue. Many have returned for another year, but check out some of the newcomers listed below.
