What’s cookin’ at the Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair 2022

Walk, shop, eat, repeat.

The Fourth Avenue Spring Street Fair, which hasn’t happened since the spring of 2019, is returning to delight its visitors, shoppers, and most importantly, the eaters.

The spring season’s festivities begin at 10 a.m. until dusk on Friday, April 1 – Sunday, April 3, and there’s going to be plenty of edible items to get your hands on. Although, it can be hard to decide what you’d like to eat when you’re inhaling aromas from several different food trucks at once.

If you’re concerned about where to park, there are a few options this time around. A free shuttle service is provided from the Pennington Street Garage and the Tyndal Avenue Garage by VIP Taxi. The Fourth Avenue Merchant Association also recommends parking along the Modern Streetcar line and using Sun Link.

Check out the list of this year’s vendors that are dishin’ out the goods this year.
