Perusing around for unique bites and artisan gifts will have to wait a little longer — again.
After a few weeks of mulling it over, Historic Fourth Avenue has decided to cancel the annual Spring Street Fair, which was supposed to take place on Friday, March 19 – Sunday, March 21.
The North Fourth Avenue Merchants Association said the following in a release:
“As we’re sure you’re already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has meant that it’s now vital to limit social contact and avoid gathering. For that reason, we have no choice but to cancel the Spring 2021 Street Fair. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you can understand the steps we’re taking to help keep our staff, partners and attendees safe.”
The group had been working closely with the local Health Department, City of Tucson, and State professionals to determine the “best course for the Spring 2021 Street Fair.”
The Merchants Association stated that without obtaining the proper permitting, the team was unable to get the Street Fair kickstarted, but mentioned that they’re still appreciative of the City of Tucson and the Pima County Health Department.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
